The first thing that we need to remember when we share the Gospel of
Christ in the world is what Paul and Timothy said to the Corinthians:
“What we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord” (2
Corinthians 4:5).
Preach
The Word
It is altogether appropriate to
remember with thanksgiving the blessings that we have received through
our dear ones who have departed this life. It’s just that none of
that should ever be allowed to compete with our Savior for our
attention and commitment, nor should it sidetrack us from the mission
of sharing the Good News of salvation in Christ.
“The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.”
Numbers 6:24-26 NKJV
