You have lost a loved one. I know how you feel. Please accept this little tract as a token of sympathy.
I have lost loved ones, too. Death took my parents, seven sisters, four brothers, and my precious wife of many years. I understand your grief and loneliness and sorrow, and I have a message of comfort for you.
There is a place called Heaven. If your loved one trusted Christ for salvation, he or she is in Heaven now! The Bible says that for those who have trusted Christ, to be “absent from the body” is “to be present with the Lord” in Heaven (2 Corinthians 5:8).
Perhaps you’ve lost a baby or a little child. That precious one is in Heaven. You can know that you are going to be there with that child someday, just as David knew after losing his baby. He said with assurance, “I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me” (2 Samuel 12:23).
During my many years of ministry, I have stood beside the caskets of the departed and watched as loved ones walked past, their hearts filled with grief, their faces bathed with tears. There are two kinds of funerals: those without hope and those with hope.
Hope can be yours. You can know that you will go immediately to God’s Heaven when you leave this world. You can know this with as much assurance as David knew that he would join his baby in Heaven.
You ask, “How can I find this assurance?” It is found in the Person of Jesus Christ. He is the only One who can give you the assurance that you will meet your loved ones again beyond the grave. He said of Himself in John 3:36a, “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life.”
He is the only way to Heaven. Luke, speaking of Him, wrote in Acts 4:12, “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Jesus Himself said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).
Christ is the way to the Father in Heaven because He bore our sins when He was nailed to the Cross. 1 Peter 2:24 says that He “bare our sins in his own body on the tree,” and it says again in 1 Peter 3:18, “Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh....”
Why did He do this? Because all of us are sinners. According to Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” And Romans 6:23a says, “...the wages of sin is death.”
God loves you. He wants you in Heaven. He offers full and free forgiveness of sins when we receive His Son as our Lord and Savior, “In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace” (Ephesians 1:7). “And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life” (1 John 5:11,12).
Receive Him now as your Lord and Savior. Come to Him not only with your sins but also with your grief over the loss of your loved one. Admit to Him that you are a lost sinner who can do nothing to earn salvation (Ephesians 2:8,9). Believe that He paid for your sins on the cross, was buried and rose again (1 Corinthians 15:3,4). Then, by an act of your will, receive Him as your Lord and Savior. If you receive Him, you may claim this promise of the Word of God: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation (judgment); but is passed from death unto life” (John 5:24).
Read carefully 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. You will learn that when our Lord returns, our loved ones who trusted in Him will be raised from the dead. He will bring their spirits with Him from Heaven to enter their changed eternal bodies, and “ Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
If you have still not received Christ as your Savior, please come to Him now. In Him is eternal life. He is the One who raised the little girl, the young man, and Lazarus from the dead. He overcame death when He rose from the grave, and He will raise from the grave those who trust in Him. He will bring to pass the saying, “Death is swallowed up in victory” (I Corinthians 15:54). Accept Him as your Lord and Savior and receive the eternal life He offers. “The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23).
Come with your burden of sin and sorrow to the One who said, “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).
