Death

Death and grief touch every person's life at some time. Jesus Christ showed great compassion to those grieving, and wept for his friend Lazarus despite knowing he was about to be resurrected .

From the beginning of time, man has wondered what will happen once he departs this life. Is a physical body necessary? Where does a person go after death? There is a spiritual dimension most people miss, which is an integral part of God’s Plan for building His Family.
