Eternal Life – The Saturday Morning Post by Pastor Ted Stahl

Today’s Passage – Judges 11 – 13

(Second Milers also read – 1 John 1 – 5; Proverbs 24; Psalms 116 – 118)

Scripture Memory for March – Psalm 1

Listen to this morning’s Scripture song – Proverbs 27:15

Good morning. What a week. My wife, Camille, had chest pains late Saturday night. I took her to the emergency room, and waited with her till they found out what was wrong. They moved her into a regular room Sunday morning around 4:30 am. They found out that she had suffered a heart attack. She is in need of a triple bypass. After several postponed operations, she came home, and we are now trying to get her into Deborah Heart and Lung. It has been very stressful, starting with the death of Melissa. The devil will use any device he can to destroy God’s people. Depression is just one of the many resources that he uses against us. When you are in deep sorrow, you lose focus in the grief and despair. It doesn’t matter that Melissa was saved. It doesn’t matter that she has no more pain. It doesn’t matter that she has a mansion that is probably larger than both of ours. What matters is a mother grieving for her daughter. Only someone who has lost a son or a daughter can understand that. Is it okay to grieve? Jesus wept. Eventually, in God’s timing, the pain will ease, and the Holy Spirit will comfort. I don’t understand how an unsaved person could ever get through this time. Praise the Lord, we have His Word and His Spirit to get us through. Because of 1John 5:11 thru 13 we know that one day we’ll be reunited again…

And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.” (1John 5:11-13).

Peace. (3John 1:14)
