And that's the same word that Jesus used when he hung on the cross and the thief said, or probably guilty of a worse crime than stealing, but the criminal next to him said, Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom. And Jesus said, truly, truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise. Same word. So Paul went there and he came back.

are so desperate to communicate with their loved ones. But according to scripture, we can't communicate with them and they can't communicate with us. David lost his son.

Well, it's just, it's just faith. You know, it's faith. I mean, how can I explain it? It's faith that's in my heart, but the Bible says faith is the substance of things hoped for.
