Mikko in Nairobi

July 17, 2005

Sunday sorrow

The morning service was based on the following verses:

Hebrews 12: 1-3 (NKJV)-
"Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls."

A text message had arrived during the service. Grandpa was in critical condition in the hospital. In the afternoon the phone rang, mom said grandpa had gone to heaven.

Grandpa went ahead to check out the situation, he joined the cloud of heavenly witnesses.
