- Description:
-
Sermon start time: 01:43. Sermon end time: 20:44.
Our grief at the death of those we love is real, because the loss is real. Yet, through the eyes of faith, we can learn to see that what seems to be the end in death is really the beginning in Christ. Through Christ, death is a homecoming; it is a returning to the Father who gives us life abundantly and extravagantly. So we grieve, yes, but our grief is not without hope. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)
Key quotation: “We grieve, yes. And our grief is testimonial to what a good gift life is that God has given. There is grief because death is real. And yet our grief is framed by the conviction that the same God who so recklessly, extravagantly overflowed in giving life shall continue to give life even in death. The Father waits, confident that the far country of death shall not have the last word.”
