Remembrances of our 2025 Reunion (an introduction)

Psalm 90:16 “Let your work be shown to your servants, and your glorious power to their children.”

We will write a short story about each of the four parents for you to remember them. What most do we hope that you will remember? I think that among other things the below thought from the Gospel of Luke is a start.

“The Bible says our earthly lives are a “mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes” (James 4:14). Our earthly sojourn is exceedingly brief. Perhaps the greatest lesson to learn from this story, then, is that when death comes knocking on our door there is only one thing that matters: our relationship with Jesus Christ. “What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?” (Matthew 16:26; Mark 8:36). Eternal life is only found in Christ. “God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life” (1 John 5:11-12). The truth is, if we wish to live apart from God during our time on earth, He will grant us our wish for eternity as well. As one pastor aptly said, “If you board the train of unbelief, you will have to take it all the way to its destination.” Taken from the Got questions app on what we learn from the parable about Lazarus and the rich man. Luke 16:19-31
