Dying Well



One Pastor that I have read and listened to said one of his main task is to prepare his flock to face death and die well. This song reflects that as well.
 
Death is a reality for all , no one is exempt. The rich , the poor are on equal footing here.For as the word teaches , we come into this world with nothing and we take nothing  with us . But in Christ we have a treasure secure . No more amazing words can be spoken to anyone than to have Jesus say ,"Today you will be with me in Paradise".

What blessed assurance to know that if we cry out to Jesus , acknowledge our sin , repent and trust in His life,death on the cross and resurrection we can look past the grave , past hell and gaze on the beauty of God and His glory in heaven .

This song can bring me to tears. Tomorrow, we say good-bye to a dear friend of ours of 20+ years. It will be with a great deal of sadness but also with the knowledge that he is with the Lord. Death does not have it's victory or it's sting. Good-bye Lee Hudson. You are fondly missed, until we see you again. Love you, Mrs Reg
