Things God Wants Us to Know
<p>
1. Sorrow and grief are never easy.
<p>
2. We discover in the gospel of John that even our Lord wept at times.
<p>
3. But though sorrow and grief are real to us we dare not miss the
lessons God is trying to teach us through sorrow.
Through the loss of a loved one and friend God is able to teach us
things that He could not teach us at other times, in other
circumstances.
<p>
We need to be sensitive to Him in this time.
<p>
What then would God teach us through this experience? What can we learn?
What are the lessons He wants to teach us?
<p>
God wants us to 
know that He still loves us
It sometimes is easy to feel that God loves us when things are going
well and He doesn't love us when things aren't going well.
<p>
We sometimes wonder how can God love us and allow the things to come
into our lives that he does? 
How can God love us and allow death and sorrow to come?
<p>
1. The Bible responds by telling us that it is God's very nature to be
loving
God is love. (I John 4:8)
His love for us doesn't change though the circumstances may.
<p>
2. The problem isn't that God doesn't love us but that our perspective
is limited
God is infinite, we are finite.
<p>
God sees the whole, we see only the part.
<p>
God's ways aren't our ways. Is. 55:8-9 "for my thoughts are not your
thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith Jehovah. <p>
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than
your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." God in His wisdom allows
sorrow to come into our lives and we must remember that His plan is
best.
<p>
3. It is to this loving God that we can turn and know that He judges
rightly and correctly.
<p>
Gen. 18 asks the question, "shall not the judge of all the earth do
right?"
<p>
We can turn to God at this time and know he is fair, just, impartial and
loving. (Ps. 98:9)
<p>
4. Yes, in this time of sorrow it may seem as if God's love is not to be
found. But His word reminds us that He does love us.
<p>
But more than this He sympathizes with us. Heb. 2:17 tells us "Wherefore
it behooved him (Christ) in all things to be made like unto His
brethren, that He might become a merciful and faithful High Priest . . .
<p>
The Lord Jesus came to earth from heaven to become a man. He knows what
it means to sorrow, to grieve.
<p>
He sympathizes with you in your grief.
<p>
5. In sorrow, God wants us to know He still loves us.
<p>
=B7 He is loving. He is just, and fair in judgment. He is sympathetic in
our sorrow. (But God not only wants us to learn something of His love
while we sorrow, but)
<p>
God Wants Us to  Learn Something About Life
<p>
1. God would remind us at a time like this that life is a gift. None of
us are promised another year, another month, another day. Each day is a
gift from God.
<p>
The Bible reminds us of the shortness of life by the comparisons it
makes to life.
<p>
The Bible says that a man's days are:
<p>
a .Swifter than a runner. (Job 9:25)
<p>
b. Like a swift ship.(Job 9:26)
<p>
c. Swifter than a weaver's shuttle.
<p>
We are further reminded of the shortness of life by comparisons which
describe life:
<p>
a. As a vapor. (James 4:14)
<p>
b. As grass. (I Peter 1:24)
<p>
c. As a flower that withereth. (Job 14:2)
<p>
Yes, a time like this reminds us of the shortness of life; a life that
is a gift, a life that is only one heart beat from eternity
