Jesus Christ gave way to tears when he neared the tomb of his dear friend Lazarus, who had recently died.—John 11:33, 35.
The Resurrection Hope
Jesus said: I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life. (John 11:25) The Bible teaches that the dead will live again.* While Jesus was on earth, he showed that he is able to resurrect the dead. On one occasion, he resurrected a 12-year-old girl. How did her parents react? They were beside themselves with great ecstasy. (Mark 5:42) Under the rule of his Kingdom, the heavenly King Jesus Christ will resurrect untold numbers of people to life here on earth—but under peaceful and righteous conditions. (Acts 24:15; 2 Peter 3:13) Imagine the great ecstasy when the dead come back to life and are reunited with their loved ones!
