Bible Question:
A dear friend (a nurse on her way to care for the patients who have no chance of recovery) died in an accident (while she was walking along the pedestrian path, a careless truck driver lost its control in a speedy turn thus caused the truck to fall onto her) few days ago leaving her husband with 2 very little sons at the age of 8 and 10. Unfortunately, the family are non-believers. I am going to attend her funeral, however I would like to write something from the bible for comforting the family. But my brain is blank at the moment and I cannot think of any suitable verse for the situation. Please help. Shalom Azure |
Bible Answer: For you Azure, this scripture (as it reminds us all of the unpredictablity of life): Eccl 9:11 I again saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift and the battle is not to the warriors, and neither is bread to the wise nor wealth to the discerning nor favor to men of ability; for time and chance overtake them all. I've found this scripture comforting: Rev 21:3,4 And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away." |
