I just read this—

I can understand why the pastor stopped the funeral, but it seems like a missed opportunity.

After all, we all have the same eulogy. Why not give it?

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to mourn a human. All of us live our lives with a certain amount of illusion regarding our autonomy, our choices, and the significance of our individual accomplishments.

In fact, little of that matters and none of it matters after we are gone.

What matters is Who we trusted with our lives. There is only one person in recorded history who can make a difference to a person at the point of death and beyond and that person is Jesus.

Jesus promised us all eternal life

His life for ours

His ransom for our sins.

If you don’t know Jesus and haven’t let him have your questions, doubts, sins, and lies, then ask him now—

Ask him if he is real

Then let his realness change everything.

John 3
