Today, as we light a candle to those we dearly love and already departed, it will be wise to pause and reflect for a while on our earthly existence.
Like a candle, earthly life shines for a moment, but inevitably it is extinguished.
And although we may arrive at the last page of our earthly journey, our existence continues.
Every earthly departure will inevitably lead to the bright burning light of God’s holiness in the day of judgment.
Everyone will be exposed. A guilty verdict for every sin will be declared. The fire of God’s righteous wrath will consume. Forever.
Everyone’s hope is to come to faith to the LIGHT OF THE WORLD (John 8:12) who continue to save through His atoning DEATH those who believe in Him.
Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
“And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment…”
– Hebrews 9:27
