Why should people ask shss
question: II the bible we're got plain
on this sshj.c, we ,ouid ask What
first caused this question fo rtae
Probably from toe question asked
by the Disciples of The woman shp
had married seven brothers ia the
resurrection whose wife shall she
b.f Jesus tells them. There ia 40
| marriage nor given in marriag. In
heaven. but we are as The angels OF
God This relation az II exists on
earth will not exist in heaven
For the basis. We will take the
| text. 1 am the God Of Abraham and
| Isaac and Jacob. There can be but
| one answer to this. from scriptural
view We do not lose our identity.
| The thought of losing the identity of
/ our loved ones would be dtstasteful
What does the scripture teach on
this text 1 am the God Of Abraham

this as strong argument Of the res

means they had not lost their identi

| Take the transfiguration Who

and Elijah II they had lost their
| identity, when this was given, they
would have spoken of them as heav-
emily beings, but they did not say
that The law of the prophets were

| had not lost their identity. They
were recognized while they talked
| with Jesus of His death on the
cross. Another reference, Luke 10:
2021 And there was certain beg
gar, named Lazarus, which was laid
| at his gate, full of sores and desir-

fell from the rich mans table: more
over the dogs came and licked his

that we shall preserve our Identity
We shall know God. We shall be
known of God and know each other
There is great comfort in this teach
ing of our Lord.
And now we remember the III
,of Jacob, as he said i am to be gain
cred unto my people. We see hin
gather his loved ones around hin
and take them one by one and give
them his blessing, then gave up the
ghost and was gathered to his peo
pie. This means so much: Gathered
unto his people, tbs glorious
, thought to me-the gathering home
of families. What comfort to us,
| feeling in our hearts that we shall
! know our loved ones.
Christ says: I go to prepare a
place for you You young people
may not think so much of this now
but will when you get old like ia
cob. The time will come in your life
when loved ones will be passing over;
twill not be long till YOU will have
more loved ones on the other shore
| than here Have YOU thought of 1t?
| Are YOU ready for it's coming? Are
you ready to go yourself?
| we see picture of an old man
| leaning on his staff, as he watches
the sun set. patiently waiting, he
whispers. Only waiting till the
shadows are little longer grown.
I Blessed privilege, that he can reach
! out in the darkness and feel the
hand of the Eternal God and 10
Ilnow He is with him as he passes
10 the home land beyond.
