To Jacob's family:
I'm deeply saddened by your loss, please accept my most sincere condolences. It's times like these that we can rely on God to provide us the necessary comfort to keep going. 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 says: "Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us".Seek his words thru the Bible and this in turn will help us look forward to the future will hope and optimism. Note what God promises for the future in regards to our dead loved ones. In John 5:28,29: "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". This should not be a surprise to us because God gave Jesus the power to perform miracles while he was here on earth and that included resurrecting deceased. So, soon we will get to see it again when God establishes his kingdom here on earth (Matthew 6:10). Imagine the emotions when we see Jacob again.
