Times like today as you remember your dad or your brother or your friend can be easy to feel alone.
God walks with us in our suffering.
God is not driven away from our brokenness, but draws near.
He’s there for our questions, for our comfort, and for our good.
Funerals feel like defeat to us on earth.
They feel like the end.
But, Jesus told Nicodemas in John 3 that if a person was born again with a new heart that they would not perish but have eternal life.
Jesus did that in Mr. Johnstone just a few years ago.
And, that means, because his faith was in Jesus and not himself, in Jesus’ works and not his own, in Jesus’ resurrection and not his good name that this grave is not the end.
It’s the threshold to a new life.
And, it’s not defeat.
Paul wrote in Romans 8:31-39:
Today, you’re hurting.
You’re no doubt thinking of conversations that you’d like to have, stories you’d like to tell, and questions that you’d like to ask.
But, because of the Jesus’ resurrection, we can be certain that today’s pain, sorrow, and suffering will not last.
One day, you will cry for your dad for the last time.
