I need a Bible verse for suitable for bereavement AND Easter.?

My grandfather is dying and I want to make a card for my grandmother. He may or may not live until Easter, and I want the card to be an Easter card that would be suitable in either event. Could you please suggest a good verse to put on the card? Thank you.

Reply:1 Peter 1:3---Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead...
Reply:Although there are many great scriptures for bereavement, two good scriptures for bereavement would be Revelation 21:3,4 and Isaiah 25:8,9. These scriptures offer us hope of a better future as a result of God's Kingdom taking action. (Daniel 2:44)
Reply:KJV





Isasih 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; 3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me. … To grant [consolation and joy] to those who mourn in Zion--to give them an ornament (a garland or diadem) of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment [expressive] of praise instead of a heavy, burdened, and failing spirit--that they may be called oaks of righteousness [lofty, strong, and magnificent, distinguished for uprightness, justice, and right standing with God], the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. (Isaiah 61:1a,3 Amplified)
Reply:John 5:28,29





"Do not marvel at this, for the hour is coming when all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who did vile things to a resurrection of judgment."





Revelation 21:3,4


"with that I I heard a loud voice from the throne say 'Look, the tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more. neithe will mourning, nor outcry, nor pain be any more. The former things have passed away.
Reply:Christ's resurrection is like the resurrection we will experience when we our bodies are raised to eternal life. Furthermore, Christ's resurrection is the basis for our resurrection. Hence, death and our future hope are closely tied to the resurrection of Christ which we celebrate on Easter.





I think the following passage would be appropriate:





1 Peter 1:3-4 "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept for you in heaven..."
