I am the resurrection and the life, says the Lord. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live;
John 11:25
Over the years, I’ve regularly stood before hundreds of people to deliver what I pray will be a God-honoring sermon designed to make the Scriptures come to life for those in search of life. But try as I might, my best efforts pale in comparison to the sermons I’ve heard delivered by members of this congregation as I sat with them. I’ve spent hours preparing my thoughts . . . they’ve spent a lifetime. I stand in a pulpit or on a stage . . . they’re reclining in a hospital bed at home. My voice is amplified . . . they’re talking in whispers. I speak of faith . . . they’re modeling it. I know about the “valley of the shadow of death” . . . they’re passing through it. I’ve come to minister to them . . . they’re ministering to me. We know this might be my final visit . . . but, praise God, we believe it won’t be the last time we see each other!
May light perpetual shine upon them.
