Tribute

Here’s a tribute a local news station did for my friend Gabe’s son. Take a few minutes and watch it, it's incredible. As I read the title,”A Father Speaks About the Tragic Loss of His Only Son,” I wondered if the author realized the impact of those words. I’m guessing he did given what Gabe had said during the interview. Never has one sentence rocked my world so much. “A Father Speaks About the Tragic Loss of His Only Son” isn’t that the gospel? Isn’t it for my sin that that had to happen? The short answer is yes to both. I don’t think I’ve ever had a better picture of the cost of my sin. It’s heartbreaking that it took such a tragedy to make that apparent, but I’m thankful for the ability in a tiny way to feel that pain. Through that pain the ultimate act of love is made real. I’ve seen first hand the agony in mourning a child’s death. I’ve cried with Gabe while looking at pictures at Deacon. I’ve seen the suffering and now I see the gospel going forward through it. How great is our God that he uses this for his glory? God is good, so good.
