Bible Question: I need your prayers I have lost my Mom and she was a Christain. Everyone says she is looking down on us and seeing all that she is a-way from..what does the Bible say on being at Jesus feet or at a Resting place. I don't think of her being in that grave! thank God for that. Help me to understand more about that Heavely Home...Thanks. |
Bible Answer: I just submitted a question on the same thing- my mother also just passed away, I was told that she was instaneously with Jesus, but now rereading the scripture, it sounds like when the 2nd coming when bodies will rise- but I truly believe that our mothers are not in the grave, for I feel her presence and she is with Jesus in spirit, but their bodies will not be glorified until the second coming- hope this helps- we will have to talk again- we are both missing our mothers and can possibly comfort each other- please email me-I am doing a sermon- I am in bible school- on overcoming fear- maybe I can send you a copy- when it is finished |
