Sorrow happens but there is hope

We will have sorrow in this life. Death will happen and this word is an curse word for most people.
We must keep our head up when loved one dies and keep on going in everyday life.

Jacob and the family had the issue of people dying around them. Their lives were no void of pain.
Genesis 35:8 says, "Now Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died and was buried under the oak outside Bethel. So it was named Allon Bakuth.

We all have relationship with other people. I have noticed that I am closer to non-family members.
Rebekah was close to her nurse, Deborah was most likely an aunt to her.
Deborah died and when someone dies, there will be an funeral. Death brings sadness.
Deborah's grave was under the oak outside of Bethel. Bethel means 'house of God.'


We can embrace God because of Jesus. Jesus is God that was crucified outside of Jerusalem. Leviticus 4:12 says, "That is, all the rest of the bull-he must take outside the camp to a place ceremonially clean, where the ashes are thrown and burned it there in a wood fire on the ash heap."
Jesus was the sacrifice that mankind need to get right with God the Father. He committed no sin but became sin for us so we can be right with Him.  2 Corinthians 5:21 says, "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteous of God."

Many Christians think that they can become righteous by following the Old Testament law. That is an law. Galatians 3:10 says, "For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: 'Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the law."

I sin everyday and I am under an curse if I think that I can live under the law. If you think that you can live by the law, then read Romans 7:15-20. I have good news, Jesus fulfilled the law and was the perfect sacrifice for mankind. May we understand John 3:16 and Ephesians 2:8-10.

Christ was put on the cross and treated like someone that committed sin and as unclean according to the law. May we read Numbers 5:1-4 and Numbers 15:32-36.

Some people only remember Jesus as an baby. He grew up as God on earth, living an perfect life and dying on the cross. He conquered death. He was the perfect sacrifice and these Bible verses teaches on this. May we read Exodus 29:21, Leviticus 8:15 and Hebrews 9:22.


We need to understand that Jesus is Emmanuel. God is with us. There an good verses for this statement and it found in John 2:19-21. May we embrace Jesus more everyday.

There was sorrow getting back to Deborah when she died. Allon Bakuth means oak of weeping.
The cross brought tears in people eyes. The disciples lost hope after Jesus died but Jesus conquered death.

We can look forward for a better place because of Jesus and living on this earth. He lived an perfect life and died on the cross and arose from the dead. No good works can save us but only Jesus and repentance.

I am looking for a better place. Let's us claim Hebrews 13:11-13 and Revelation 21:2.

Just traveling

I write some personal thoughts that I had for an month. Life will bring experience and makes people examine life. I believe that life shows that life is very short. We all know that our loved ones will die someday.

My grandmother died a couple weeks ago. I thought of this Bible Verse when she died. James 4:14 says, "What is your life? You are a mist that appears for an little while and then vanishes."
My grandma lived one hundred years. One hundred years is not an long time when we think of forever.

I always thought she would outlive everyone that ever had lived because she beat cancer twice.
There will be a time when a person gives up in life and will die. I will be there someday.

I was concerned that my grandmother would never embrace Jesus. She said to me that she didn't need God for the longest time. That hurt my soul because I thought she would die in her sins.

I prayed for her for over twenty years. My prayers were answered. The last month of her life, she suffered and was humbled. The last week of her life, she got right with Jesus. It is never to late to know Jesus.

I know that my grandma got right with Jesus and I will see her someday. All my grandparents are in heaven with Jesus. We as mankind view death as bad. God see when a person who has repented from their sins and turn to Him, as death a good time. Psalm 116:15 says, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints."
