Love will be the motive directing their actions and their
every power shall be exercised for good.--Revelation 21:24-27.
[612]Life, that which has been the desire of men in all ages, will be
completely realized--life in fullness, when men and women will be strong
and vigorous, and there shall be no more pain, no suffering, no sorrow,
no death; when all obedient ones shall return to the days of their youth
and enjoy life as perfect human beings through endless ages.--Job 33:25;
Romans 6:23; Revelation 21:4.
[613]Praise then shall take the place of sorrow. No longer will the
people assemble in cemeteries on Decoration Day to pay tribute to their
hero dead, because then their dead will be restored to them; and the one
who shall be the greatest hero in their minds and hearts will be the
great Messiah, who has brought the people the unspeakable blessings.
Then will the people assemble, not to discuss politics, nor to wrangle
over who shall hold the offices, but to improve their minds and to study
the beauties and wonders of God's creation and to sing songs of gladness
to his praise.--Isaiah 35:10; 51:11; Philippians 2:10,11.
CONSOLATION TO CHRISTIANS
[614]Death is a cruel enemy of the human race. Its sting has been felt
for ages. It takes away beloved ones and leaves a burning dagger in the
heart of the surviving friend. It has filled the earth with sadness, and
the people with grief.
