Austin's Resurrection Bed

It is such a comforting thing for my Mama heart to consider this ~
Austin's body was sown in corruptionbut, it will rise in glory.
Just as the Lord Jesus Christ's body was raised up
in perfection from the tomb, so will Austin's.
From this very spot ~ his resurrection bed.

"But now is Christ risen from the dead,
and become the firstfruits of them that slept."
~ I Corinthians 15:20 ~

"So also is the resurrection of the dead.
It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory:
it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.
There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body."
~ I Corinthians 15:42-44 ~


**Our last name was photo-shopped out of this image**

The grave marker was fashioned from a slab of polished black granite.
We are so pleased with the workmanship of the carving ~ 
the family who did the work are true craftsmen.
We are also thankful for the message it conveys.  
John 6:37 was Austin's favourite verse ~ please click here to read it.

Austin's trust was solely and alone in the finished work of his Saviour.
Our son's body rests in the ground until that glorious day
when all God's people, in the twinkling of an eye,
will be caught up with the Lord Jesus Christ in the air.

"In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound,
and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, 
and we shall be changed."
~ I Corinthians 15:52 ~

What a day that will be!
Rejoicing in the thought of it.
Praising our Great God for the Truth of it.
Life here is temporary.  Life there is permanent.

Many Blessings,
Camille
