Psalms 88:10

10: Of what use to the dead are your miracles? Do the dead get up and praise you?

"What will you gain if I die, if I sink down into the grave? Can my dust praise you from the grave? Can it tell the world of your faithfulness?

For the dead cannot praise you; they cannot raise their voices in praise. Those who go down to destruction can no longer hope in your faithfulness.
Only the living can praise you as I do today. Each generation can make known your faithfulness to the next.

Yet we have this assurance: Those who belong to God will live; their bodies will rise again! Those who sleep in the earth will rise up and sing for joy! For God's light of life will fall like dew on his people in the place of the dead!

A funeral procession was coming out as he approached the village gate. The boy who had died was the only son of a widow, and many mourners from the village were with her.
When the Lord saw her, his heart overflowed with compassion. "Don't cry!" he said.
Then he walked over to the coffin and touched it, and the bearers stopped. "Young man," he said, "get up."
Then the dead boy sat up and began to talk to those around him! And Jesus gave him back to his mother.
Great fear swept the crowd, and they praised God, saying, "A mighty prophet has risen among us," and "We have seen the hand of God at work today."

The dead cannot sing praises to the LORD, for they have gone into the silence of the grave.

While he was still speaking to her, messengers arrived from Jairus's home with the message, "Your daughter is dead. There's no use troubling the Teacher now."
But Jesus ignored their comments and said to Jairus, "Don't be afraid. Just trust me."

It will happen in a moment, in the blinking of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, the Christians who have died will be raised with transformed bodies. And then we who are living will be transformed so that we will never die.
For our perishable earthly bodies must be transformed into heavenly bodies that will never die.
When this happens--when our perishable earthly bodies have been transformed into heavenly bodies that will never die--then at last the Scriptures will come true: "Death is swallowed up in victory.
O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?"
For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power.

"If a tree is cut down, there is hope that it will sprout again and grow new branches.
Though its roots have grown old in the earth and its stump decays,
at the scent of water it may bud and sprout again like a new seedling.
"But when people die, they lose all strength. They breathe their last, and then where are they?
As water evaporates from a lake and as a river disappears in drought,

The LORD took hold of me, and I was carried away by the Spirit of the LORD to a valley filled with bones.
He led me around among the old, dry bones that covered the valley floor. They were scattered everywhere across the ground.
Then he asked me, "Son of man, can these bones become living people again?O Sovereign LORD," I replied, "you alone know the answer to that."
Then he said to me, "Speak to these bones and say, `Dry bones, listen to the word of the LORD!
This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Look! I am going to breathe into you and make you live again!
