Subject: How can one deal with death? |
Bible Note: 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 |
