Trouble At The Cemetery

Friday, February 14, 2025

There are many ways of ruining an occasion. We're normally taught that it is wrong to ruin special occasions, but is that Biblical? There was this one occasion that everybody had prepared for, dressed up, brought food, and made a big deal of it. But then Messiah came and ruined it. The occasion was a funeral, and Messiah is in the business of ruining funerals. If you are a follower of Him, then it's your job to also ruin funerals. How? There are funerals going on all around you; living funerals that people put on their whole lives - funerals of self-pity, anger, bitterness, funerals of sorrow and loss. Thus, it is your job to ruin those funerals. How? Messiah did it through compassion, through prayer, through a miracle, through the touching of their lives with God's love, through healing and through resurrection. Chances are there is a funeral being held not too far from you right now. You now know your mission. By the power of Messiah - ruin that funeral.
