I don’t think there is anything more special at a funeral than hearing of how the person who lived a long life did so whilst remaining a Christian all their life.
“Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. It gave me great joy when some believers came and testified about your faithfulness to the truth, telling how you continue to walk in it. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.”
3 John 1:2-4
Gaius was known for his ‘faithfulness to the truth’.
Today let’s stay in the truth of what we have been taught about Jesus Christ. Let’s ‘continue to walk in it’ Through the struggles and trials of life they are still continuing in the walk. They are reliable. They are there. When others have walked away they have stayed.
Maybe you’re thinking of walking away? Certainly walk away from the Diotrophes people (the disloyal) but not the truth of Jesus Christ.
