Obituaries
Grounded Viewpoint
Obituaries confront our shared reality of mortality and call us to remember our limited days with wisdom and humility (Psalm 90:12), while Scripture offers comfort to the grieving: Jesus promises rest and consolation to those who mourn (Matthew 5:4). Christians hold to the hope of resurrection and reunion in Christ (1 Thessalonians 4:13–14; John 11:25–26), and are called to honor legacies by loving and serving others in ways that reflect God’s faithfulness.
