sickness and death is not the end

When He heard this, Jesus said, “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.”

- John 11:4

There has been so much death recently.

I guess that there is always death, some of these deaths have been close to my heart over the past several months and the world lost a very intelligent man last week when Stephen Hawking passed.

As a Christ follower, I know that these deaths are not an end for these people, but a better place for their souls.

I am fully aware that Hawking was a self-proclaimed atheist, it is my hope that he had a moment prior to his death to consider the Father and change his mind. 

Regardless of whether he did or did not, the fact remains that in death, we are able to see God’s glory.   

While it hurts us here, our loved ones are no longer hurting.

And with that knowledge, we should glorify the name of the Lord, for through Him we are made whole.

Have a blessed day!
