“Whoever believes in the Son has eternal
life..” (John 3:36a NIV)
The cemetery is a sad place. We don’t
like to say goodbye to those whom we love. It’s right for us to weep, but there
is no need to despair. They are, at this very moment, at peace in the presence
of God.
One of our church members asked me to
speak at the funeral of his mother. Her name was Ida, but her friends called
her Polly. Her son told me his mother had been unresponsive the last few hours
of her life. She never spoke a word. But moments before her death, she opened
her eyes and in a clear voice said, “My name is Ida, but my friends call me
Polly.”
Meaningless
words of hallucination? Perhaps. Or maybe she was in the presence of God --
maybe she was getting acquainted!

Comes
