Words spoken @ Betty’s (my Mom's) grave site

The death of a Saint is always precious in the sight of God:
Ps.116:15 Precious in the sight of the Lord
is the death of his saints.
It is full of
a. Faith. Heb 11:13. These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.
b. Peace. Isa 57:2. …taken away from calamity; he enters into peace; they rest…
c. Hope. Pr 14:32. …the righteous finds refuge in his death.

Sometimes for a saint death is desirable: Simeon, spoke these words revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
Luke 2:29 “Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace,
 according to your word;
30 for my eyes have seen your salvation
31 that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples,
32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel.”

It leads to
a. Rest. Job 3:17; 2Th 1:7. …there the weary are at rest. …to grant relief to you who are afflicted as well as to us
b. Comfort. Lu 16:25. …now he is comforted here,
c. Christ’s presence. 2Co 5:8; Php 1:23. …we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
d. A crown of life. 2Ti 4:8; Re 2:10. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.
e. A joyful resurrection. Isa 26:19; Da 12:2. Your dead shall live; their bodies shall rise. You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy! For your dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the dead…. those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,

Sometimes it is waited for:

Job14:14 If a man dies, shall he live again?
All the days of my service I would wait,
till my relief should come.

Consolation & Encouragement for survivors is always appropriate:

1Thes. 4:13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. 14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. 15 For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.
