God Is Good

What an awesome scene this was to experience. This past week Christian mourners came to the park in remembrance of a friend who had now past into glory to be with the Lord. Shortly after they left it was like God sent a reminder of his love and his covenant.  “Precious in the sight of the LORD [is] the death of his saints.” Psalm 116:15 When someone has accepted the Messiah Jesus (who died on the cross to pay for the sins of the world) as their personal savior when they pass away they are with God. The Bible says “absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.” 2 Corinthians 5:8 That person is now with the Lord where “God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” Revelation 21:4 Yes the separation we experience on this earth can be difficult when we lose a loved one, but the Bible tells us “I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.” 1 Thessalonians 4:17 and “In my Father’s house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you…if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also.” John 14:2
