I must admit, I am not the biggest Internet Monk fan in the interwebs, but I did enjoy reading his site from time to time (and no offense meant to Chaplain Mike, but he’s not the same).
It is sad to consider death, but that too is the reality of a world busted by sin. Death wins, or so it seems. Regardless how rich or poor, wise or foolish, young or old, famous or anonymous you may be or may consider yourself to be, all die.
Death is not the end, though, for those in Christ, and from what I knew of Mr. Spencer through his writings, I have full confidence that he is now with his Lord Jesus enjoying eternity. That’s all we really need to know. Death might look like it wins, but because Jesus is raised from the dead we too shall be raised. Death doesn’t win. Death will lose, and, in fact, death itself will be destroyed at the end. That’s good news to consider in a time of mourning.
