How many times do we hear this statement when a terrible event has taken place? The father of one of those lost in the airplane tragedy in the French Alps earlier this week used these very words. Whilst it is very important for airlines to put in place measures to minimize such events, it is in fact not possible to cover every eventuality. We live in a fallen world where we are all effected by sin at work in our lives. We have inherited from Adam and Eve sin, which pervades our lives even though we try to present a moral life to the outside world. Now and again someone who has the lives of others in their hands cracks and behaves in a sinful manner. What is amazing is that it does not happen more often. This is God's grace to us, His undeserved favour.
When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.
