Back from the dead!

I was talking to a good mate at my youth Bible study the other night and we got onto a story about his Grandmothers death.

A few years ago, when he was back in New Zealand, he was at his Grandparent's house with his cousins with his sick Grandmother. His Grandfather went out to the local shops, and just after he left, his Grandmother died.

Fifteen minutes later, his Grandfather returned and they were all mourning, praying for her, etc when suddenly the Grandmother came back to life apparently as a 'gift' from God to be able to say goodbye to the family properly. She told them that God resurrected her for a short time just to say goodbye.

Who knows why God would have given her this chance that hardly anyone gets a chance to do, but my mate said that from witnessing this event first hand, he KNOWS that God can bring the dead back to life - NO DOUBTS! From the experience and other things she said, he knows the absolute power of God.

'Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies;'
John 11:25
