“My hair is grey, but not with years, Nor grew it white In a single night, As men's have grown from sudden fears: My limbs are bow'd, though not with toil, But rusted with a vile repose, For they have been a dungeon's spoil....” So begins Lord Byron’s poem: “The Prisoner of Chillon.”
I visited someone in the hospital last week. They are dying. I know I have shared with you in the past that death stinks and nothing has changed for me on this topic. I just don’t have a place to file it. I know that you can find Jesus, live for Him and then pass away and go to Heaven and things are great, but that just doesn’t help a lot. If anything I am comforted by the shortest verse in the Bible. John 11:35 tells us, “Jesus wept.” Jesus is sad by the death of his friend Lazarus. He goes on to raise Lazarus from the dead but I’m glad Jesus knows how I feel when someone I love dies.
