The Bodily Resurrection
When Jesus returns, those who have died in Him will be raised from the grave. This is not just a spiritual resurrection; it’s a bodily one. Just as Christ’s tomb was emptied, so will the graves of those who have trusted in Him. Our separation is temporary, but the reunion will be eternal. We grieve now, but one day, we will stand side by side with our loved ones in glorified bodies, free from pain, sin, and death.
Imagine the beauty of that moment—the graves opening, the bodies of our loved ones restored, and we are reunited with them in the presence of God. This is the culmination of our hope, and it gives us strength as we endure the pain of separation.
Reflection:
How does the promise of a bodily resurrection impact your understanding of life after death?

About this Plan
Grief is an emotion that touches the deepest parts of our souls, and this has been profoundly true for me since I lost my precious 21-year-old daughter, Jenita, on July 14th, 2024. The pain of losing someone so dear, so young, is indescribable. Every day is a reminder of the ache that comes with the absence of her presence, her laughter, her love. And yet, as I walk this painful road, I find myself held by a hope that does not disappoint—a hope rooted in Christ.
