During their vacation, and while they were visiting Jerusalem, George's
mother-in-law died. With death certificates 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 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."
