A Sad Time for the Lamberths and Us
A friend (Mark Lamberth) I went to school with past away this past Thursday, January 8, 2008. Please pray for his wife (Angie Lamberth) and son (Nolan) through this difficult time in their lives. I thought this verse may encourgage others who made need to hear it as well. Remember, those in Christ will never really die…Amen!
Dear Nolan, I went to California Baptist University with your dad. And, my husband got to know him through Sandal’s Church. We always enjoyed being around your dad. He was soft-spoken, had a gentle smile and a warm heart. He was a very genuine person who loved you and your mom deeply. We are sad to see him go, but know that he is in heaven with the Lord now; a place we will be someday too! Although you will not see him for a little while, his spirit lives on and you will see him again someday. We continue to pray for you and your mom.
For Christ did not enter a man-made sanctuary that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence. Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own. Then Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But now he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
Hebrews 9:24-28
