Matthew 2:16-18
Grief is prevalent – 14 million widows in the US, 3.7 million widowers
Grief is relevant – loss of appetite, lack of sleep, sadness, depression
Grief steals Christmas with:
Sentimentality
Sadness
Selfishness
Because we tend to forget:
Death is certain, because sin is certain
Death doesn’t discriminate
There are two lives
God’s Reminder In Earth Forgotten
God’s Relief In Excess Forever
