Attended two funerals yesterday (preached one), I liked what the pastor said at the one I just attended. When death comes there is hurt, we’ve all been there, help comes. Family and friends flock to our side. The pastor said hope comes...the promise of God, that we don’t sorrow as those who have no hope, that all of the dead in Christ will rise again. Read 1st Thessalonians 4. Father, we pray now for all those who are in sorrow, for their hurt, their help, their hope, in Jesus' name, amen.
