Week 50 | Be My Witnesses w/ Bishop Boyea

This week on Be My Witnesses, Bishop Earl Boyea of Lansing encourages us to bury our dead, pray for our dead, and visit the graves of our dead. Why? Because the Book of Genesis tells us that God made us spirit and body and that it was good. Our bodies are not prisons nor are they toys; they are integral to who we are as human beings. This is why we show the respect that we do toward the bodies of our beloved dead, ensuring, in so far as we are able, the proper burial or placement of the mortal remains. This action also affirms and proclaims our steadfast belief in the Resurrection of the Dead and the unity of our being as material and spiritual, as body and soul.
