1 | The Father of the Faith Wept. | Gen 23:2 | Lionstrong | 48130 | ||
Gen. 23:1,2 Now Sarah lived one hundred and twenty-seven years; these were the years of the life of Sarah. And Sarah died in Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan; and Abraham went in to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her. The Father of the Faith Wept. He didn’t plaster a stupid grin on his face and rejoiced that Sarah was with the Lord. No, he had known her as his half sister since childhood and as his wife had loved her for scores of years. Now friend, wife and lover is gone, and the father of our faith and friend of God mourns and weeps for the departure of Sarah. Peace, |

2 | The Father of the Faith Wept. | Gen 23:2 | Robert Nicholson | 48562 | ||
Lionstrong: I agree. Knowing that a loved one is absent from the body and present with the Lord does not remove the sense of loss and grief for those left behind. According to 1 Cor. 15 it will be not until Christ comes and we shall be changed that the saying will come to pass "death is swallowed up of victory" 1 Cor. 15:54 We read in John 11:35 "Jesus wept." He wept for those who mourned the loss of a loved one, even though he knew that he would raise Lazarus from the dead. Is it not amazing that the eternal creator and sustainer of all things: wept?
