S3-136 ELDER'S EXHORTATION (11-19-22)

Before Br. Sam delivered stellar encouragement to the saints to "walk not in the counsel of the ungodly" in these "perilous" times, Brother Singh reminded us (based on  Luke 23:32-43) of a valuable insight into the account of the thief on the cross. We do not know how the thief knew about the death, resurrection, and coming kingdom of Jesus when the disciples did not. We must never presume to judge someone's life at the point of death. That period is exclusively between the sovereign Almighty and His elect one. The hour of one's death is far more significant than their birth. Brother Singh mourns the passing of Br. Leander Ray, his friend and a fellow minister called by God.
