Que doloroso es perder a un ser querido en la muerte, si en nuestra mano estuviera devolverle la vida seguro que lo hariamos pero eso no es posible en nuestro caso. Pero Dios si puede y el lo va a hacer. La biblia nos asegura en Hechos 24:15 que va a haber resurreccion de justosa.es uan consuelo saber esa verdad pues nos da esperanza de volver a ver a nuestros seres queridos que han muerto.que estas palabras la animen y fortalesca.
