Is it well with my
son Absalom? asked David.
There could be no
gladness in his heart
when he learned that
it was not.
The wellness of our
children
can never be
assured--
not by hundreds of
soldiers
nor armaments nor
swift passage,
not by a balanced
diet of nutritious food.
True security is in
this: you are God of the living.

"…And as for the dead being raised, have you not read
in the book of Moses, in the story about the bush, how God said to him, ‘I am
the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is God
not of the dead, but of the living; you are quite wrong.” [Jesus to the Sadducees]
