The Word of God says for our consolation: "But I would not have you be ignorant brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
"Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the hearts of man the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
"Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord".
