Why must the good die young and the wicked live? There was and there is a reason that extends to the end of time, if you remove his death from the sequence of events that God had preordained from the beginning of time ,then God’s mission would not have been accomplished because all things work together
John says
Today he is in heaven waiting for those he loved to join him. He has already met Jesus face to face, he has seen the face of God.
