George
went on a vacation to the Middle East with most of his family including his
mother-in-law.
During
their vacation and while they were visiting Jerusalem. George's mother-in-law
died.
With
the death certificate in hand, George went to the American Consulate Office to
make arrangements to send the body back to the States for proper burial.
The
Consul, after hearing of the death of the mother-in-law told George that the
sending of a body back to the States for burial is very, very expensive.
It
could cost as much as $5,000.00.
The
Consul continues, in most cases the person responsible for the remains normally
decides to bury the body here.
This
would only cost $150.00.
George
thinks for some time and answers, "I don't care how much it will cost to send
the body back; that's what I want to do."
The
Consul, after hearing this, says "You must have loved your mother-in-law very
much considering the difference in price."
"No,
it's not that," says George. "You see, I know of a case many years ago of a
person that was buried here in Jerusalem. On the third day he arose from the
dead! I just can't take that chance!"
