Bible Question:
A member of our church is dying. She is 88 years old and has had a full life, she is at peace and is a believer. I am new to the Christian faith. I would like to visit her and read the Bible with her, while she still has the strength to see visitors. As I am not yet familiar with the Bible and relevant passages, could you please recommend some Psalms and other passages that would be particularly helpful and would add to her sense of peace and "coming home" to be with Jesus. -Thank you |
Bible Answer: You will note that the suggestions for passages given by JVH are, for the most part, differenct from mine. That's wonderful! What an example it is of the marvelous richness of God's word in being able to speak in so many places and in so many ways to the hearts of the dying, and to the living as well. The Bible is an inexhaustible storehouse of spiritual truth, wisdom, hope, and comfort. Whether new believer or seasoned saint, it is a fountain at which we must all drink daily in order to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord. My prayer is that these passages will bless your friend as she prepares to meet her Lord, and you as your prepare to begin your walk with Him. --Hank |
