We said good-bye today to one of our Cambodian Christian
brothers, Khao Kham. Peter Im, a Cambodian Pastor shared this verse during the
funeral:
John 17:3
"Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only
true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent."
There is something about a funeral that helps us focus on
what really matters. In the end just one thing matters, knowing our Lord. That
is eternal life. Khao Kham met the Lord
through the Cambodian ministry in the 1980’s when we helped his family get
settled in this country. His life was changed. He knew and loved Jesus Christ.
He found the one thing that really matters.
During those years of ministry it was so easy to get discouraged
and asked if all the work was really worth it. Yes, today I realized it was
really worth it. This is because in life one thing really matters. When I took
my turned to toss flowers into his open grave, I paused and thanked the Lord
that he had given us the opportunity to share with Khao Kham the one thing that
really matters, the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Good bye for now brother Khao Kham but I will see you again
when Jesus blows the last trumpet.
