Isiah Maclin

Dear Family and Friends of Isiah,

It was sad to learn of Isiah’s death on December 14, 2019.

May I share with you some promises from the Holy Scriptures, the Bible, that bring comfort at times of loss like this?

It was never our Creator's purpose that anyone should die, ever! When He put Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, they had the prospect of endless life, in ageless bodies, in perfect health, on a perfect Earth (Genesis 1:28).

The Creator has not given up on that purpose. He says that His word that goes out from His mouth will not return to Him without doing what He sent it to do. (Isaiah 55:11) So we know that perfect humans will live forever in paradise on earth—you and Isiah can be among them! (Psalm 37:11 & 29). Then, in that perfect environment, we can all learn how our Creator really meant for us to live—in peace, without fears, in security, happy.

May you have comfort and peace from these promises until the day when you can be reunited with a vibrantly healthy (Isaiah 33:24) and forever young (Job 33:24) Isiah by means of the resurrection (Acts 24:15). Until then, Isiah can sleep, he can Rest In Peace [RIP].

This is no fantasy, no pipe dream. The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ are our guarantees of this wonderful future! One day soon, the heartbreaks and sadnesses of this life “ ... will not be called to mind, nor will they come up into the heart.” Isaiah 65:17.
