For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. As 1 Thessalonians 4 reminds us:įor if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. Though we will miss him, we do not grieve as those who have no hope. We are strengthened by this message and the eternal hope that we have in Christ. Don’t ever doubt His goodness because He will always be there for you.” So, I want you to know that you can trust in Jesus Christ all the way through. He’s never failed me in my whole life, and He’ll never fail you. “I want you to know that you can always trust in God. He recently recorded a message to share with his 14 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren, and I know it is one that he believed with all his heart. We will always treasure the way my father encouraged us to trust in the Lord, no matter our circumstances.
My family and I thank you immensely for your prayers during this time as we grieve. And I imagine my dad said to them the same thing he has said to us many times, “I was just an unworthy servant and have only done my duty. Perhaps millions from many tribes and nations came to greet and thank him for his part in sharing the precious Gospel of Jesus Christ with them. We can only imagine the rich welcome my father experienced as he stepped into eternity. During one of these times of reflection he shared this with his two daughters and three of his granddaughters: In his final days, he often talked about heaven and his desire to be with Jesus. For many of us, he was also a spiritual father, guiding us and teaching us to love the Lord and live lives worthy of the Gospel. Perhaps most important though, he was a dearly loved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend.
He was an evangelist, a humanitarian, an entrepreneur, an educator, an author, a statesman, a television personality, a man of global influence and tremendous vision. My father was an extraordinary man by any standard. My dad was at home, surrounded by his family when he entered glory and met his Savior face to face, whom he loved and served with his whole heart, mind, and being. Today, June 08, 2023, my father, Pat Robertson, has gone home to be with his Lord. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.
