As I talked to the Ferguson Family, they shared four truths about Ms. Peggy:
1.
She was Blessed!
And would tell everyone that she was.
In fact if you listened, Ms. Peggy would tell you this too!
2.
She wasn’t wealthy, but she was RICH in so many ways.
She had her children and her home.
And she was happy.
3.
She wasn’t big in stature, but she was the strongest person I’ve ever known.
4. Growing up, there were times us four may not have had certain things, but we always had our LOVE for one another.
Today we Mourn as Abraham Did
We mourn by remembering her and honoring her.
We Mourn but we look to the promises of God:
A Promise of an Eternal Home
The patriarch could have doubted God when Sarah passed, for she died without seeing the divine promises fulfilled.
Yet Abraham persevered, buying a burial plot as a sign of his confidence in the Lord’s blessing (v.
16).
He and his wife would inherit Canaan after their deaths if need be.
In the meantime, their bodies would lie in the ground not far from the place where Sarah first heard she would be a part of the promise by giving birth to Isaac (18:1–15).
As one commentator has said, their bones bore witness to future generations of their hope that the Lord would do so much more for them at the resurrection than he did during their lives.
We too look to God’s promises, especially his promise of eternal life and a eternal home.
This is the promise of God, that we will have an eternal home.
A Promise of an Eternal Rest
We look to a home with eternal rest.
A place of pleasures at the right hand of God
A Promise of Eternal Life
