Crossing Over
The story is told of Bishop Warren Chandler, after whom the school of theology at Emory University was named. As he lay on his death bed, a friend inquired as to whether or not he was afraid. "Please tell me frankly," he said, "do you fear crossing over the river of death?"
"Why," replied Chandler, "I belong to a father who owns the land on both sides of the river."
In life, in death, in life beyond death, God is with us. That is our great salvation hope. I want you to know that God cares if you are immobilized by some fear in your life. He cares because that fear is intruding upon His destiny for you. It is perfect love that casts out fear. At the foot of the cross you can lean back into the arms of an ever-loving and gracious God and echo the words of the old hymn: "God will take care of you, He will take care of you."
