There are only two kinds of people in this world; and their natures,

their destinies, and their ways of life are radically different.

Our souls are grieved by many things, especially the loss of loved ones;

and true comfort is held out to us in the hope of the gospel, but we must

be willing to receive it.

When believing loved ones die,

true and lasting comfort is found

in the hope of the gospel,

and we should be eager to give

and receive this comfort.

We have been taught by God to love one another and to care for each other’s needs, but idleness takes advantage of this love and does harm to Christian witness.
