Scripture of the Week –
For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious
standard. Romans 3:23
Everyone sins…everyone is going to die.
And just as each person is destined to die once and after
that comes judgment, so also Christ died once for all time as a sacrifice to
take away the sins of many people. He will come again, not to deal with our
sins, but to bring salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for him. Hebrews
9:27-28
We are destined to die. We are told that
right here in Hebrews…and of course, we all know that from experience, We are
all destined to be born…and to die.
A time to be born and a time to die. …. Ecclesiastes
3:2
Good people pass away; the godly often die
before their time. But no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to
understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come. For those who
follow godly paths will rest in peace when they die. Isaiah 57:1-2
 |
| Salvation is from the Lord. Cross from Portugal |
Good people pass away. It is hard to
understand why good people pass away…at a young age. They have so much
potential…so much to give in service to the Lord. Why? Isaiah tells us that it
is to protect us from coming evil.
Yesterday we lost a very dear friend—to cancer. It was less than a month since her diagnosis. It just seems
unfair…but we just have to trust God. He has a plan. She was a godly lady…so we
have the promise that she is resting in peace. Salvation—for each
of us—is from the Lord. We are eagerly awaiting His return.
Prayer
~ Lord, open our eyes and hearts to understand Your plan as we wait for Your
return. May all that we do please and honor You. Thank You for our wonderful
friend. Please give her family and friends Your peace, strength and
hope.
