This has been a long week for the family. We have lost three dear church family members within a week. I praise the Lord that all three had trusted Jesus as Lord and Saviour. His promise to save is sure and they all are enjoying the fullness of God's joy in heaven today.
When I think about their faith and trust in Christ, I am reminded of a inscription from the tomb of the great astronomer Copernicus:
"I ask not such favour as St. Paul received
Nor yet such grace as St. Peter obtained;
But what, on the cross, to the thief Thou did'st give,
O Jesus, I fervently pray, grant to me."
