I clearly
remember the day when the news of my father’s sudden and accidental death
reached me. During the early hours of the morning, I was downloading e-mails in
my office where we were working as missionaries. Thousands of kilometers
separated me from my fathers apartment in a small village in south Germany
where he had died as a result of a domestic accident yet no one noticed .we had
been trying for weeks to contact him without success, and now the impact of the
tragic news sent me into a spin of tears, feeling of guilty, and un answered
questions. Why couldn’t I have been at his side during his last moments? , why
did God allow him to die under such circumstances while I was serving his
church on the other side of the world?, but as I was perplexed and stranded,I remembered
the words of Christ that I will see my father at the second coming of Jesus
where every faithful believer will enjoy eternal life in the new earth were sin
and death will be no more. "In every situation and challenges you face in this
sinful world, let Jesus be your eternal hope and shelter".Sunday, 9 February 2014
