So shall we ever be with the 260 00:22:34,300 --> 00:22:37,700 Lord? Wherefore Comfort. 261 00:22:37,700 --> 00:22:44,000 One, another, with these words and we do pray, as I wanna say, 262 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,300 it's the Living Word of God that the Lord will bless his word to 263 00:22:48,300 --> 00:22:53,300 her hearts.

We have it, put it in the order 540 00:39:00,500 --> 00:39:03,600 of service and Psalm 116 verse 15. 541 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:10,600 We read precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his 542 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,400 Saints. There's three things. 543 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,100 I want to leave with you. I want you to think of the 544 00:39:16,100 --> 00:39:23,000 description of God's people here in the text has since God's 545 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,000 people are described in a variety of ways using different 546 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,300 metaphors. In the Bible. 547 00:39:27,300 --> 00:39:32,600 Where were called, Christians followers disciples even jewels. 548 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:37,400 And here's another precious one has sins. 549 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:42,000 The word science is a reference to Holiness of life. 550 00:39:43,100 --> 00:39:50,500 Pez, holy ones. Has speaks of someone in a 551 00:39:50,500 --> 00:39:57,300 relationship with him? The Bible tells us about a zig 552 00:39:57,300 --> 00:39:59,800 and Rebecca. She became Hess and that was 553 00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,900 true in the day that David and Elsie get married, but it was 554 00:40:02,900 --> 00:40:06,000 also true of the day that LC trusted Christ as Lord and 555 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,700 Savior. She became his because she could 556 00:40:08,700 --> 00:40:12,100 talk about my redeemer. She could talk about my beloved. 557 00:40:12,100 --> 00:40:15,500 This is my friend. She could talk about my Lord and 558 00:40:15,500 --> 00:40:19,900 my God. It has since also as someone who 559 00:40:19,900 --> 00:40:25,300 has a regard for God who believes that God is, and of 560 00:40:25,300 --> 00:40:27,800 course, the Bible tells us the full of sadness, heart. 561 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,700 There is no God. It's important that we recognize 562 00:40:31,700 --> 00:40:36,600 that God is that he's the true and the Living God has revealed 563 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:40,400 himself in the pages of Holy Scripture, and Elsie, leaned 564 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,900 hard on the fact that God has because the Bible tells us God 565 00:40:43,900 --> 00:40:47,400 is our refuge and strength, a very present help and The day of 566 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,500 trouble. How and when your we World falls 567 00:40:49,500 --> 00:40:52,900 apart and crashes and round you. Who do you turn to for help? 568 00:40:52,900 --> 00:40:58,300 What will L say, always turn to the Lord reference to his scenes 569 00:40:58,300 --> 00:41:01,500 as a reference to someone who's a reference for God. 570 00:41:02,100 --> 00:41:04,700 The Bible tells us be though in the fear of the Lord, all the 571 00:41:04,700 --> 00:41:07,800 days of thy life. The Bible tells us there in the 572 00:41:07,808 --> 00:41:12,000 Book of Proverbs and Proverbs chapter 9 and in the verse 10 573 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,300 that they fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and 574 00:41:15,300 --> 00:41:19,800 knowledge of the Holy as Understanding and Elsie had such 575 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:25,800 a reverence for God that she knew and discovered that she was 576 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,900 a sinner and that she had a soul and that she knew she needed a 577 00:41:29,908 --> 00:41:32,700 savior in the Lord. Jesus was the only savior. 578 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:34,400 Neither. Is there salvation in any other? 579 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,400 For there is no other name under Heaven, given among men whereby 580 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,100 we must perceive and she knew she needed to be cleansed in the 581 00:41:40,100 --> 00:41:43,900 precious blood of Christ by trusting him and by fear of 582 00:41:43,900 --> 00:41:49,200 having application in that blood were by She was washed by faith 583 00:41:50,100 --> 00:41:54,600 and therefore she came to Christ and she cried out to him and and 584 00:41:54,600 --> 00:42:00,500 and and and she confessed him. Elsa was not only Washed by the 585 00:42:00,500 --> 00:42:04,900 blood of Christ, but she was walking by the Faith of Christ. 586 00:42:06,300 --> 00:42:10,300 I've already made reference at Elsie was a machinist a 587 00:42:10,300 --> 00:42:13,800 dressmaker and you know, the Bible is loads to say about 588 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:18,800 garments in fact 170 references to the word garments. 589 00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:23,400 I'm one of those references of Song of Solomon, chapter 4 verse 590 00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:25,000 11. And this is what it says. 591 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,700 And this is the bridegroom. Speaking of us prayed. 592 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,900 Thy lips, all my spouse drop as the honeycomb. 593 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,800 Honey and milk are under thy tongue and the smell of thy 594 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,800 garments is like the smell of Lebanon. 595 00:42:40,300 --> 00:42:46,000 You see L say like the bride and the bridegroom had such a 596 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,600 relationship with Christ that she Not only was washed in the 597 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,100 blood of Christ. But she walked by the Faith of 598 00:42:52,100 --> 00:42:55,200 Christ. She could say like Paul to 599 00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,300 Timothy I know in whom I have believed and am persuaded that 600 00:42:58,300 --> 00:43:01,200 he is able to keep that which I've committed unto him against 601 00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,300 that day. And how do I know that Elsa was 602 00:43:03,300 --> 00:43:05,700 a good? Genuine Godly Christian woman. 603 00:43:06,100 --> 00:43:09,700 When I went under her home. She always was reading the Bible 604 00:43:09,700 --> 00:43:12,000 or Other Christian literature, whatever. 605 00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,800 I went to read a portion before I left the home L, say always 606 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:19,900 got her own Babel and she said, I'll, I'll read it along with 607 00:43:19,900 --> 00:43:20,800 you.

You know what they end. 615 00:43:38,900 --> 00:43:41,400 She took the two bits of cotton wool out of her ears. 616 00:43:41,500 --> 00:43:45,100 She had got olive oil, and, and that was the reason why she 617 00:43:45,100 --> 00:43:49,200 couldn't hear me, but she did love reading her, baby. 618 00:43:49,700 --> 00:43:52,500 She always talked about the Lord Jesus, to everybody, that would 619 00:43:52,500 --> 00:43:54,500 lessen. She could say, this is my 620 00:43:54,500 --> 00:43:56,200 redeemer. This is my friend. 621 00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,900 This is my Lord. She proved her testimony by the 622 00:43:59,900 --> 00:44:03,600 life that she lived. When Trials and troubles come, 623 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,900 the death of her husband, her sisters, John A Hurley at 624 00:44:07,900 --> 00:44:10,300 nephews. John and Robert and have 625 00:44:10,300 --> 00:44:16,000 mentioned, she didn't give up. She didn't pack in her life of 626 00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,100 faith. She trusted in the Lord to give 627 00:44:19,100 --> 00:44:23,400 her Greece to see her through Elsie Worship. 628 00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,700 The Lord of mentioned carried of Baptist. 629 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,900 Donald Baptist Beltran about this they the martyrs Memorial 630 00:44:29,900 --> 00:44:35,100 and then she transferred membership here to carried off a 631 00:44:35,100 --> 00:44:40,000 description of God's people has since and we could talk 632 00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:44,300 literally that else say was a living sinned and of course if 633 00:44:44,300 --> 00:44:46,900 you're not a sin before you die, you'll never be one. 634 00:44:46,900 --> 00:44:49,900 We Believe and we totally reject that. 635 00:44:49,900 --> 00:44:52,300 You can become a saint after you die else. 636 00:44:52,300 --> 00:44:56,200 He was a scent before she died. Listen to the scripture. 637 00:44:56,200 --> 00:45:00,800 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his sins 638 00:45:01,300 --> 00:45:02,500 thing. No need a description of the 639 00:45:02,500 --> 00:45:04,300 people of God. We think about the death of the 640 00:45:04,300 --> 00:45:06,700 people of God. You know, else. 641 00:45:06,700 --> 00:45:11,400 He left her life and such a way that she knew that almost died. 642 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:17,700 She knew that old people die. She knew that the young may die. 643 00:45:19,100 --> 00:45:24,200 An LLC lived, her life and later that you see even a good genuine 644 00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:29,700 Godly sincere, Christian days. Abraham Dade. 645 00:45:29,900 --> 00:45:34,700 David Esther, Hannah Moses Samuel, the New Testament 646 00:45:34,700 --> 00:45:38,800 apostles CLC. Knew that death was an 647 00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:42,600 appointment, not to be messed with the Bible tells us in 648 00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,900 Hebrews chapter 9 and 27 hours is appointed unto man once to 649 00:45:45,900 --> 00:45:48,300 die. And after this, the Judgment 650 00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:51,900 Elsie knew that God has set a boundary for her. 651 00:45:51,900 --> 00:45:56,700 Listen to what the Bible says in Acts 17 and hath made of one 652 00:45:56,700 --> 00:45:59,600 blood, all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the 653 00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,500 Earth, and have determined the times before appointed and the 654 00:46:02,500 --> 00:46:10,000 bounds of their habitation. You see, there's a time a place 655 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:17,900 away for all men must die. Elsie, not only had a birthday. 656 00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:23,100 But you had a death day and maybe you're here, and you never 657 00:46:23,100 --> 00:46:26,800 think about that and you haven't realized it and it doesn't make 658 00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:28,700 any impact upon you. Who cares? 659 00:46:28,700 --> 00:46:31,600 You shrug it off with a shrug. Your shoulders head remains me. 660 00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:35,700 If the story that's told in The Chronicles of Narnia written by 661 00:46:35,700 --> 00:46:37,900 c.s. Lewis and one of the volumes. 662 00:46:37,900 --> 00:46:42,100 I think it was the Silver Chair or the silver throne, and it was 663 00:46:42,100 --> 00:46:45,600 a picture of a prince that have been captured by a wicked witch 664 00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:50,200 and held in the dungeon. And for almost 24 hours, he had 665 00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:53,700 access to food and all the Delicacies that you could think 666 00:46:53,700 --> 00:46:59,500 of and rest and relaxation. But at a time, Five Minutes to 667 00:46:59,500 --> 00:47:05,100 Midnight, the Wicked Witch's followers came and tied him to a 668 00:47:05,100 --> 00:47:11,900 silver chair and 45 minutes that Prince screamed out every moment 669 00:47:12,300 --> 00:47:13,300 of that. Five minutes. 670 00:47:13,300 --> 00:47:16,400 I'm a prisoner. Someone get me out of here. 671 00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:21,700 Despite having all of life's best the famous of clothes, 672 00:47:21,700 --> 00:47:26,200 Delicacies and fun, and happiness, 45 minutes of every 673 00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,100 day. He realized I'm a prisoner. 674 00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:31,700 I need someone to get me out of here. 675 00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:37,600 And you see everyone should know way we get a reality check and I 676 00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:40,500 believe coming into the house of mourning like this. 677 00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:43,400 We get a reality. Check that man is a prisoner to 678 00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,000 send that man is a fallen creature. 679 00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:50,600 And that death is not natural to man, and it's death was never 680 00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:54,000 intended to be part of God's world, but death has been in 681 00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,500 there just because of sin, Romans, 5 and 12. 682 00:47:56,500 --> 00:47:59,400 Wherefore, as by one man, sin entered into the world and death 683 00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:03,500 by sin and so death passed upon all men and All have sinned 684 00:48:03,900 --> 00:48:11,000 death occurs because of sin and God's judgment on sin and a 685 00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:16,200 funeral like this even at the death of a sinned, it can be a 686 00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:20,100 wake-up call to what is really going on. 687 00:48:21,100 --> 00:48:24,600 Because one day, death will come for you and come for me. 688 00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,600 There is life after death. Jesus said what shall it? 689 00:48:27,607 --> 00:48:28,800 Profit? A man, if he shall gain the 690 00:48:28,808 --> 00:48:31,100 whole world and lose his own soul, or what, shall a man give 691 00:48:31,100 --> 00:48:33,900 in exchange for his soul and there's two ways to die. 692 00:48:33,900 --> 00:48:37,000 You can die in Christ. And if you die in Christ, will 693 00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,400 be absent from the body and present with the Lord, and 694 00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:42,200 you'll enter into paradise, and you'll be with King Jesus. 695 00:48:42,500 --> 00:48:44,000 And you'll know the bless of half her. 696 00:48:45,300 --> 00:48:49,400 But if you die without Christ, this was the worst death of all. 697 00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,800 To die in your sins. Jesus said, if you die, in your 698 00:48:54,800 --> 00:49:00,800 sins, three times where I am, you cannot be and that should 699 00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:05,200 make you tremble and that should make you think on the Bible, 700 00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:11,000 urges us flee from the Wrath to come death is an anime death as 701 00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:14,600 unnatural.
