This is one of the best gospel presentations I have ever heard. Most likely because it comes from a heart of a father who just lost his son. Rick address a tough issue that the worlds tend to throw in the face of Christians in a time of crisis... "If God loves us then why in the world would he let this happen?"
Rick puts it this way, which is so so true: he tells us to look at it this way. We were all bound for hell, the lake of fire and God in his absolute sovereignty chose to send his Son to this earth. Jesus walked with us, felt with us and ultimately suffered more than any of us, FOR US. He not only endured the physical pain of being a human, but He left perfect fellowship with the Father to come to earth only to have the weight of all of the sins of the people who would come to Him from ALL TIME before and after. So don't even throw the "God must not love us" card in there, because that is the most ridiculous thing you could ever say.
I say Amen to that and to hear that come from a man who just lost his baby speaks wonders for the kingdom of God. So thank you Rick Burgess for being a faithful servant of God and of His kingdom and for setting an example and challenge for many of us to strive toward.
Oh and one last thing, I don't think he said it in this clip but he was talking about how his family is lookin gat earthly things now. He said that Bronner was told repeatedly not to go in the office, but he always would go and take his crayons with him every time. Rick said that the other day he walked in there and Bronners crayons were on the floor, just where they were not supposed to be and he just crushed them into the carpet. Who cares about the carpet he said, his boy is with the Lord now, and that carpet will never be, so who cares. What an outlook. Oh how my heart desires to become like that.
Be encouraged.
