Speaker 1
Alright, here it is. So Jack is asking my wife and I were our true soulmates. She was a born again Christian and so am I.
Speaker 2
The Lord took her home in December 2020.
Speaker 1
We were deeply in love, shared virtually.
Speaker 2
Everything and were as close as a married couple can be. Next to my Lord and Savior, she.
Speaker 1
Was is the true love of my life. Our love grew with the passing of.
Speaker 2
Every moment and continued to do so until she went home to be with God. Next part I can’t put into words.
Speaker 1
Even though I am a teacher and.
Speaker 2
Writer, how much I miss her. Words would not do justice to the deep pain and grief I feel. I deeply miss her every minute of every single day. I know she is with Jesus and.
Speaker 1
That I will one day be reunited with her.
Speaker 2
This knowledge is what gets me through each day. I just wanted to get your input on this question. Do you believe, as I do, and many other Christians, apparently, especially those who.
Speaker 1
Deeply loved, love their Christian spouses who have gone to be with Jesus, that we will be reunited with our beloved? And the next we could get the.
Speaker 3
Next question after answer maybe. Well, I guess, go ahead with that.
Speaker 1
And will we have a relationship with.
Speaker 2
Them that promises to be even better and more glorious what we had here on earth.
Speaker 1
Thank you for your time.
Speaker 2
God bless.
Speaker 3
So just wow, Jack. I cannot imagine losing Wendy like that. And so what you’re going through is incomprehensible to me. And all I can say is God understands what you’re feeling. And I do have a little bit of good news for you. So first thessalonians four.
Speaker 4
I’m crying too.
Speaker 3
Verse 15. Yeah.
Speaker 1
That’S hard because yeah, I agree. I would have a hard time if something like that happened to him. And I totally feel you on this, Jack.
Speaker 3
It’s hard, very hard. But praise God for the comfort he gives us. One thessalonians four. Verse 15. It says, for this we say to you by the word of the Lord. So this is assured, because it comes from the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. What does he mean by that? For the Lord himself, jesus will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an ark angel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are live and remain shall be caught up together let me repeat that again. Will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and thus shall always be with the Lord. Verse 18 therefore comfort one another with these words. So these words right here, god has spoken for you. They’re there for you, Jack, to know that, yes, if she rests in Christ and whether you rest in Christ before he comes or your life when Christ comes, doesn’t matter. We will both meet up, all of us will meet up together in the clouds when Christ appears again together and with new, wonderful, glorious bodies.
Speaker 3
And that goes into now your next question is, and the way you read it is great, will we have a relationship with them that promises to be even better and more glorious than what we have on earth? I think you definitely have inspired imagination because so many people want to think in terms of what we have today. Will we have marriage in heaven, things of that nature. And Christ says in Matthew 22 30 that the answer is no. It says, for in the resurrection they neither marry nor give in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven. The angels don’t marry, they don’t have kids, they don’t procreate, they don’t do that, but they probably have something even better. And look at John 17 verse one. And Jesus is giving this prayer to the Father and he asks Lord that they be one as we as God and the Son are one. So John 1711, may they be one as we are one. And God is praying this prayer for all his people. Imagine that he wants God’s, god wants his people to experience a oneness as the Godhead experiences oneness. And this is going to be something that I don’t think we can wrap our heads around by any means in this earth.
Speaker 3
We see so much sin, we see so much selfishness. But imagine a place where everybody just loves to the utmost, where everybody sacrifices, is self sacrificing to the utmost. And there’s no stealing, no sorrow, no pain, no killing, nothing bad, it’s all good. And we all love each other. And you’re just so excited every time you get to see someone. It’s going to be incredible. So, yes, I think as you said, there’s something that there definitely is a promise to be even better and more glorious than what we can comprehend. Definitely look forward to those times.
Speaker 1
Yeah, and we have many times talked about this and how much it would be so hard if something happened to one of us. And because we know how much God worked to bring us together in marriage and how connected we are. And.
Speaker 2
We kind of comfort each other.
Speaker 1
With the idea that when we are.
Speaker 2
There.
Speaker 1
We won’t be married like we are here, but we’re still going to be best friends and we’re still going to be close and spending a lot of time together. Because this is a relationship that God.
Speaker 2
Has given us here to continue there.
Speaker 3
It’s a blessing that God has given us the experience of marriage because again, the angels don’t get experienced, that this is a unique experience for us and to experience also sort of the intimacy that the Godhead has. And I guess you’re blessed to have experienced it, but obviously with the stronger the love, the harder the loss is.
Speaker 1
But it’s just a small taste of what is to come and that’s what’s really incredible.
Speaker 3
The experience of marriage.
Speaker 1
Yeah, that what we have here now is as amazing as it is, is literally just a morsel, just a taste of what we’re going to have in heaven. And it’s hard for us to comprehend that, but that’s what God is telling.
Speaker 2
Us and promising us.
Speaker 1
So we are running out of time this week.
Speaker 4
Yeah. I’m thinking that we’ll maybe stop here with the questions. I know we have a few more, but maybe we’ll hold off on those for next week.
Speaker 2
Okay.
Speaker 4
I think that’s a good thought. And I think this I don’t know if I can answer any questions, but I want to cry. So, Jack, I just want to tell you really quick, I totally feel for you and I think that I appreciate you reaching out to us with this question. I think it is even though I’ve never met you and I’ve never met your beautiful wife, I just can sense from this question just how rich and beautiful your relationship and your marriage was. And I just want to close with maybe with one quick promise from the book of Revelation, chapter 21 and verse four. I’m going to try and say this without crying, but it’s just a beautiful promise that I’ve held on to as we’ve lost loved ones. And this one is really special to me. Revelation 21, verse four. And it says, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes and there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying, and there shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away. And so I just want to encourage you, my friend, that God has a place prepared for you and your wife.
Speaker 4
And in that place there will be no more of this separation, no more of this pain, none of the things of this world. We won’t even remember these things. And so I just want to pray for you and just let you know that God has a place repaired and it will be wonderful and more wonderful than anything you could ever imagine here on this earth.
