HE STILL SPEAKS
" ... though he is dead, he still speaks ..." Hebrews 11:4
One of the many things that fascinates me about history is that the fact that dead men still speak. I have been watching the series on the life of John Adams and it has been a powerful review of the life of one of America's great patriots. Some of the statements he made over two hundred years ago ring true as we think about where we are as a nation today.
Recently I was privileged to do an oral history for the Flight 93 Memorial. The purpose of this oral history project is to be able to tell the stories about the passengers as a reminder of their lives for generations to come. It is good for us to remember.
Hebrews 11 is an account of men and women's lives recorded for is in Scripture of saints whose lives still speak generations after their deaths - and in fact, the writer says of Abel - thought he is dead - he still speaks."
Yesterday we celebrated the glorious resurrection of our Savior! He lives! He is risen. And think over 2000+ years later people are still telling the story of HIS life. It is good to rehearse that story over and over again. As my Pastor reminded us yesterday, it is the greatest story ever told!
God often brings into our lives those special people who impact our lives. Some are now with Jesus and it is important to remember what they have meant to us. Some are easy to remember because of the impact of their lives. Yesterday was the birthday of my friend, Ken Brown, who for many years was the Director of Maintenance at America's KESWICK. Though he has been with Jesus for several years now, people still mention Ken Brown. Grads from the Colony, people in the community, friends from his church still tell Ken stories.
Ken loved Jesus with all his heart, soul, mind and strength! The Gospel changed his life and the resurrection gave him hope that because of Jesus, he could face the many challenges of life! His life was a constant illustration - he always had a story recounting God's faithfulness and how He was at work in his life.
We miss you, Ken. Though you are in heaven, your life is still speaking down here on earth! Thanks for the impact of your life. I want to share with you for the next day or so, several of Ken's devotionals from our
365 daily devotional, REAL VICTORY FOR REAL LIFE . Make your life count like Ken's! - Bill Welte is the President and CEO of America's KESWICK
Today's Scripture: Joshua 16-18; Luke 2:1-24
Great Quote: Receive every day as a resurrection from death, as a new enjoyment of life; meet every rising sun with such sentiments of God's goodness, as if you had seen it, and all things, new-created upon your
account: and under the sense of so great a blessing, let your joyful heart praise and magnify so good and glorious a Creator. William Law
