Unless a seed dies
Pastor Eric officiated a funeral here today – at Our Mother of Sorrows Chapel. A mother who lived a hard life died early – and thus one might say the chapel’s name matched the occasion.
Fortunately, she gave her heart to Jesus shortly before she passed, and so she went to Heaven, where the living is easy.
Many who attended today’s proceedings were moved to say a prayer for salvation; and one cannot help but remember Jesus saying: “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.” (John 12:24)
Jesus died at an early age that we all might live forever by believing in Him; and He will be rejoicing over today’s harvest. As will also the dear one who was buried today.
She will be so happy for those of her family who accepted the Savior today, for she and they have a family reunion in heaven to look forward to.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)
