To the Family of James Riley:
What a large loving family Mr. Riley leaves behind. And so
this is a very sad time for those who knew and loved him. When a loved one dies, the Bible calls death an "enemy" (1 Cor 15:26), and this leaves a void in our lives because that person was a dearly beloved family member. It was not Jehovah God's original purpose for us to have to be separated from that person but to live forever enjoying their company in pleasant surroundings right here on this earth. But because our first parents did not appreciate their Creator enough to obey him, they threw away the opportunity to live in that paradise. But not so for us. Jehovah God in his infinite wisdom has made arrangements through his Son Christ Jesus as our ransomer to redeem mankind. (John 3:16)That is why it is so important to pray for God's Kingdom to come and to pray that God's will be done on Earth as it is being done in Heaven. (Matt 6:9,10) This government by God will restore the earth to God's original purpose to be a paradise for all righteous mankind to live upon. (Rev 21:3-5) That is why we should take in knowledge (John 17:3) about what is going to take place soon, since we are living in what the Bible calls the "last days" of wickedness. (2 Timothy 3:1-5) This Bible knowledge will give you comfort and hope to be able to see " Papa" again in the resurrection (John 5:28, 29)
