Why do we suffer and die?

Why do we suffer and die?

For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Rom 5:19

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Amen.
Rom 16:24

A VALEDICTION FORBIDDING MOURNING.


Julle sal nooit alleen wees nie!

Julle sal nooit alleen wees nie!


Leana, Lerique, Analeh, Sune & familie en vriende van die Matthee familie,

Al kon ons nie fisies by julle wees vandag nie, is ons in die gees daar. Ons was bevoorreg om 'n man soos Enrique te kon ken en ons dank God daarvoor.

Leana, in die dae, weke, en maande wat voorle sal ons steeds by julle wees, saam met julle treur, en gedurig deur vir julle bid. As jy 'n vriendin, 'n uitlaat klep, of 'n 'sounding board' soek, is ek net 'n oproep, 'n epos of 'n blog ver.
Julle sal nooit alleen wees nie! God verseker ons by verskeie geleenthede in Sy Woord: Jesus Christus is gister en vandag dieselfde en tot in ewigheid. ... Hy het gesê: Ek sal jou nooit begewe en jou nooit verlaat nie. Heb 13:8&5b; Deut.31:6; Jos. 1:5; 1Ch. 28:20 & Mat.6:25-34.
God is almagtig, alwetend, en oraloor teenwoordig, en Hy gebruik mense om Sy liefde aan die wereld te openbaar. So wil ons graag instrumente in Sy hand wees vir julle!

Ons sal Enrique NOOIT vergeet nie! God se immers: Gedenk julle voorgangers wat die woord van God aan julle verkondig het; aanskou die uiteinde van hulle lewenswandel en volg hulle geloof na. Wees gehoorsaam aan julle voorgangers en onderdanig, want hulle waak vir julle siele as diegene wat rekenskap moet gee, sodat hulle dit met blydskap kan doen en nie al sugtende nie; want dit is vir julle nie nuttig nie. Heb 13:7&17.

Jy en jou familie sal ons altyd in ons harte hou, Leana: Die broederliefde moet bly. Vergeet die gasvryheid nie, want daardeur het sommige, sonder om dit te weet, engele as gaste geherberg. [Ons bid vir julle], omdat [julle] in alles goed wil wandel. Heb 13:1,2&18.Ons bid julle die Here se Seen en Genade toe:Mag die God van die vrede, wat die Groot Herder van die skape, naamlik onse Here Jesus Christus, deur die bloed van die ewige testament uit die dode teruggebring het, julle volmaak in elke goeie werk, om Sy wil te doen, deur in julle te werk wat welbehaaglik is voor Hom deur Jesus Christus aan wie die heerlikheid toekom tot in alle ewigheid! Die genade sy met julle almal! Amen. Heb 13:20-21&25.
Sterkte met die eksamens, Lerique.
Gee jou kinders 'n stywe drukkie van my af, Leana.

Met al ons liefde,
Lizette & familie

Enrique is with our Father now!



IN MEMORIAM - CXXIII

There rolls the deep where grew the tree.
O earth, what changes hast thou seen!
There where the long street roars hath been
The stillness of the central sea.
The hills are shadows, and they flow 5
From form to form, and nothing stands;
They melt like mist, the solid lands,
Like clouds they shape themselves and go.
But in my spirit will I dwell,
And dream my dream, and hold it true; 10
For tho' my lips may breathe adieu,
I cannot think the thine farewell.
- Lord Alfred Tennyson (http://www.gutenberg.org/)

ON ANOTHER'S SORROW

Can I see another's woe,
And not be in sorrow too?
Can I see another's grief,
And not seek for kind relief?
Can I see a falling tear,
And not feel my sorrow's share? ...
He doth feel the sorrow too.
Think not thou canst sigh a sigh,
And thy Maker is not by:
Think not thou canst weep a tear,
And thy Maker is not year.
Oh He gives to us his joy,
That our grief He may destroy:
Till our grief is fled an gone
He doth sit by us and moan.
- William Blake (http://www.gutenberg.org)
*************************************************************************************************************
Leana, familie en vriende,
Ons harte ween saam met julle. Carmen se liedjie omskryf so raak hoe ons almal voel.
Ons sal ALTYD in dankbaarheid so aan Enrique dink:
Phm 1:4-7 Ek dank my God altyd wanneer ek aan jou in my gebede dink, omdat ek van jou liefde en geloof hoor, wat jy met betrekking tot die Here Jesus en al die heiliges het, dat die gemeenskap van jou geloof kragtig [was] ... tot eer van Christus Jesus. Want ons het groot blydskap en troos oor jou liefde, omdat deur jou, broeder, die harte van die heiliges verkwik is.
Leana en Lerique, woorde skiet tekort om ons hartseer en meegevoel te beskryf. Wanneer my eie woorde op raak, soek ek skuiling onder die vleuls van God se Heilige Woord:
2Th 2:16-17 En mag onse Here Jesus Christus self en onse God en Vader, wat ons liefgehad het en ‘n ewige troos en goeie hoop in genade gegee het, julle harte vertroos en julle versterk in alle goeie woorde en werke!
Phm 1:3 Genade vir julle en vrede van God onse Vader en die Here Jesus Christus!
Ons bid vir elkeen van julle!
Met al ons liefde,
Lizette, Jannie, JD & Robin De Klerk

Enrique: God our Comforter

November 4th, 2008: God, Our Comforter

The world knows not The Comforter:

Ecc 4:1-3 So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.






Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive.




Yea, better is he than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.





Children of Christ Jesus, take Comfort:

Joh 14:15-21 If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.


Jesus promised:

Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.


Our Comfort:
Joh 14:26-28 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

Psa 119:50 This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.
Our Comforter:
Isa 66:13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted...

Isa 40:1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
Psa 119:57-58 Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words. I entreated thy favor with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word.
Psa 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Our Future Hope:

1Th 4:16-18 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.





Invitation to you...

Phi 2:1-2 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
