Dear family and friends of James Krueger, My name is Jessica and I am a volunteer in your area. I do not know James or your family personally, but I am writing to share a comforting thought with your family during this time of lose. Death is something unnatural that brings us much pain, in times of grievance many find comfort in the pages of the Bible. In Isaiah 25:8 we read, "He [God] will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces. And the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for Jehovah himself has spoken it." What a beautiful promise, soon death will be done away with and God will wipe the tears from our faces. God is not blind to the injustices we face, soon he will bring about an end to all suffering and sorrow. As stated at Isaiah 33:24 "No resident will say: "I am sick."" What a wonderful future we all have to look forward to! If you would like more information please go to www.jw.org.
