What does it mean Jesus is the first and the last?

Jesus is of first importance in God’s plan with humankind and the universe.   Consider Colossians 1:15-20: He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.  (16)  For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities–all things were […]

Why did Jesus weep at the tomb of Lazarus? (John 11:35)

Answered by .

When a stillborn child’s soul goes to Heaven and we go there too, will we see them and in what stage of maturity will they be?

Answered by . 1

This is a very upsetting subject.  Although I have never lost an unborn child, I’ve seen the trauma and sorrow experienced by those who have and I extend my sincere sympathy to those who have experienced this loss. Firstly, it is a common misconception that people go to heaven when they die.  The Bible is […]
