1 | How can one deal with death? | 1 Thess 4:13 | SallyThames | 74656 | ||
In 1996, I found my oldest brother dead in his home. His name was Jimmy. Jimmy had such faith in God, unshakeable. If he needed money, I would worry, he would say ...ahh sis, the Lord will take care of me...sure enough, unexpected funds would arrive. Many other times his faith brought him such peace and tranquility. It has been many years and I still can see his face as I saw it that day. Satan has his way of bringing up the pain and grief, it makes Christians vunerable to sin. I take consolation in the fact that Jimmy is at peace, in his mansion God prepared for him. Jimmy's dying did him no harm, he got the best end of the deal...the worst part of dying is on the surviors or loved ones of the deceased. I could almost hear the angels sing as we laid my brother in his tomb, still I wept for his earthly absence. Grief is long lasting and heart breaking, but when I can not bear the empty spot his death left for me, I think of the golden streets and pearly gates of Heaven and rejoice that he was called home... He was chosen to leave early, Lucky him. | ||||||
2 | How can one deal with death? | 1 Thess 4:13 | Robert Nicholson | 74658 | ||
Greetings Sally: I rejoice with you "that we do not sorrow as those who have no hope." However, there is sadness in the parting as they make their way into the personal presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. Sometimes we refer to it as a promotion to glory. Nevertheless, their is a sting to death but we look forward to that day when Christ comes and we shall be changed "then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written "Death is swallowed up in Victory! O Death where is thy sting? O grave where is thy victory? Each time we lose a loved one who belongs to Christ we can take comfort "that it is only 'til he come" Thank God for the triumphs of our Savior! Robert |
