Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. Psalm 116:15
Some people have the mistaken idea that saints are the select few chosen by a church. The Bible clearly teaches that all believers are saints, not because of anything we have done but because Jesus did it all for us. All I had to do was to accept God's free gift of salvation.
Jefferson Zeon definitely was one of God's saints. I mentioned in my first post from Liberia that we had stopped on our way in from the airport to see Jefferson and Helena. Jefferson was very sick and today he was promoted to Heaven. I know there is much rejoicing in Heaven today over the arrival of a true man of God. I can just see Jefferson humbly bowing down before his Saviour to say thank you for making it possible for him to be there.
Jefferson will be sorely missed by many and especially by Helena and the family. They did a great job of taking care of him all this time. Helena seems to be doing okay and knows that God's ways are not our ways but His ways are always best. That doesn't mean she isn't hurting, but she can rest in God's love for her, knowing He will take care of her.
They think the funeral will be on Friday. Please pray for the family for strength and peace and that the funeral will be a testimony to God's goodness. I'm sure Jefferson's testimony will live on and be used to accomplish God's work.
