Spiritual Grief

Katherine Clark was just an average wife and mother with two young children when she was in a tragic playground accident in late May 2009. A little boy playing on the jungle gym jumped and landed on Kate’s head, knocking her over and snapping her neck. Kate was paralyzed from the neck down. The doctors diagnosed her with quadriplegia and said she would never walk again. This terrifying prognosis could have been the end of the story. But instead, God chose to work a profound miracle in Kate’s life and in the life of her family.

Nel corso dei secoli è stato insegnato alle persone a considerare la morte con orrore. Questa è una politica sbagliata perché il bene non nasce mai dal male e la paura in particolare non è mai costruttiva. Ora è arrivato il momento di ascoltare la verità. E la verità è che non esiste la morte. Non c'è assolutamente motivo di temere la morte. Perché ciò che chiamiamo morte non è altro che l'altro lato della vita. L'anima dell'uomo è immortale e il suo futuro è la crescita e il miglioramento.

As gold passes through purifying fire, so Peter says a man's faith must be tried in order that it "might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ" (1 Peter 1:7). While we address the crises in our lives that try our faith, we rarely praise God the way Job did, and we rarely submit ourselves to the purifying fire as Peter suggests.
