We have a hope in heaven and a hope in Jesus. The Hope of heaven wipes out the fear of death. We are promised an eternal existence that we cannot fathom. We are promised that we will never die! We pass from death to life; absent in the body present with the Lord. Our last breath on earth will be our first in heaven. We have a hope that those whom we've lost are in a state of unspeakable joy, peace and bliss - and someday we will be with them again.
