An amazing obituary

4/16/2019

​I sometimes enjoy walking through a cemetery, especially an old cemetery, and reading the tombstones.   I think my favorite one of all is Mel Blanc, voice of Bugs Bunny and many Looney Tunes characters.  On his tombstone all that's written is his name, the year of his birth, the year of his death and the words, “That's all, folks!” As we see Joshua’s obit, we read these words, “Joshua the sun of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being 110 years old.” First we see his physical identity - he was the son of Nun. But Joshua also had a spiritual identity – “servant of the Lord.” That's how Joshua would forever be known spiritually.  He was the servant of the Lord.  That is not a phrase used flippantly in the Bible.  Only one other person in the Bible had that phrase used to describe them and that was Moses.  Moses and Joshua will both forever be known as the servant of the Lord.  There's many other people in the Bible that have a spiritual identity.  Abraham will forever be known as the friend of God.  David will forever be known as a man after God's own heart.  John the Apostle will always be known as the disciple whom Jesus loved.  What's your spiritual identity? How will people remember you spiritually?
