A Life of Redemption
Today we gather to remember and celebrate the Life of Glen Alderman
Never fear dying, beloved.
Dying is the last, but the least matter that a Christian has to be anxious about.
Fear living - that is a hard battle to fight, a stern discipline to endure, a rough voyage to undergo.
- Charles Spurgeon
So today I want to talk about how we live.
I believe how we live will define how we die and at the end there are only two options:
A life of regret or a Life of redemption
No-one is perfect
Glen made plenty of mistakes through out his life.
We will not list them - but I assume there are memories in this crowd that are not always positive, if we are honest.
I would remind us all - we have all made mistakes
The question is do we admit or deny?
Two Choices
We can deny - we will stay in darkness and regret - never knowing peace or hop
We can admit - experience freedom
Choose a life of Redemption
I believe Glen, at some point chose a life of redemption
I believe because of this, some relationships were restored, forgiveness was received and given
None of this was earned by Glen and can not be earned by any of us.
We can choose to hold onto the our past, our hurts, our un-forgiveness, and our bitterness
All we leave at the end of our lives is regret
Or we can choose redemption and know freedom in this life and eternity.
We Celebrate
We celebrate a life redeemed that is standing in eternity with one who redeemed him - Jesus Christ
In the end it is not about what you do or how you die it is about the one who came to redeem us
If Glen was standing here today - he would tell us all Jesus is the only choice we can make.
By faith we are taken into Christ, made at once safe from holy wrath against sin, and kept safe from all perils and penalties.
He, our divine Redeemer, becomes to us the new sphere of harmony and unity with God and His law, with His life and His holiness.
- A. T. Pierson
What will you choose today?
You can walk out of here with regret and stay in that bondage, or redemption and freedom.
Let’s Pray
