I did two funerals this week. One yesterday and one today. This morning's funeral was for a newborn child who died way too young. I want to share with you a small part of my message this morning:
Paul writes in Romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
About twenty centuries ago, God chose to use a baby to give life to the world. And everyone from the skeptic to the saint knows that the world has never quite been the same since. Tomorrow night, billions of people will celebrate the birth of a child who died way too young.
Five nights ago, Caleb was born. Caleb gave new live to your world. The dozen or so of us who were there last Friday night will never look at the world quite the same again.
We touched and we saw the little fingers and toes. We saw one of the most beautiful children any of us have ever seen. We saw the preciousness of human life.
We won’t take life for granted anymore. We will cherish the moments that we have with each other.
Although Caleb is not with us physically, he will remain with us forever.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
