Forever and ever!

We have just heard of the death of two different men. Both of whom we believe knew the Lord. May the Lord bless the families as they grieve their loss. Psalms 116:15 says, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." In the Amplified version of the Bible this word precious can mean ( important and no light matter). It is important and no light matter when a believer goes to be with the Lord. Jesus told the thief hanging on the cross next to him who said , remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom, "today you will be with me in paradise". ( see Luke 23:43 ) I have often spoken of the death of a saint as graduation day, the day that we walk across the stage of this world for the last time only to enter into paradise where we will be forever and ever.
