At 11:30 last night cancer claimed yet another victory with the life of John Hall. He will be remembered as a talented jazz drummer, loving husband, and father of two wonderful sons.
Paul confidently declared "Death, where is your sting?" I lack that confidence these days. The gospel brings life, but I've begun to think that death is all the more painful because we believe in the Gospel of Life. Jesus declared that we can find life through him, so to see death seems like such a perversion of the world we should see.
How can we not pray every moment for God's Kingdom come?
John, may you find new life now. Life abundant. And full Kingdom citizenship. I'm sorry you had to face so much pain to find freedom, but pray that you are now comforted by another who sufferred equally. Until we meet again...
