Funeral

| 1 Comment

I did a funeral today for a man who was quite beloved in the city of Santa Monica. He was a political activist (aren’t they all in Samo?) and helped out lots of people. The city Fathers were there including the mayor and councilman Bobby Shriver, (brother of Maria (Shriver) Schwarzenegger). Not knowing the spiritual beliefs of the deceased, I usually end the service with: “He’s in God’s hands now.” This is true, whether saved or unsaved. If a person is saved, then he is in the hands of a loving Father and will dwell with Him forever in a place where there is no more sorrow or pain. If a person rejects Christ, he will face the eternal wrath of God’s justice. Both are the destinies meted out by the hands of a good and loving God. At the gravesite I said, “If [dearly beloved] could speak to you now, he would tell you that Jesus Christ is LORD!”
