Easter Reflections 2017

I’m on a bed in my final moments. Loved ones around my bed. I shall miss them dearly, miss the things we’ve done, miss the moments in their lives that are to come. I ache that I will be with them no longer. I wonder what life will be like on the other side. The unknown gives me some trepidation.

And then I remember.  

That even though I must walk through the valley, I am not alone. He will be with me. His rod and His staff shall comfort me. He will carry me through and death shall not be my final song. My sin will not do me in.

That I may see them on the other side, that this is just a temporary goodbye, that someday we’ll be together forever in eternity. In that glorious garden city, we will be reunited, making more memories in our new bodies, with our Savior.

And I shall pass on triumphantly, peacefully and boldly. Reaching out for the Lord’s nail pierced hands, into His arms I shall rest.


This Easter, I am keenly aware of my mortality. Whilst I am grateful for the salvation in Christ, I am even more grateful that He is my benefactor. The One who can save my children, I shall forever be indebted to.
