Brother Allan Ng of Central Corps was promoted to Glory on Friday 30th November 2012. We have known Allan for many years - truly a man of God who lived his life for God and for others.
We all have to face the reality of death. Death has been called "The Grim Reaper" - He is shown as a skeletal figure carrying a large scythe and clothed in a black cloak with the hood. He relentlessly shows no respect for age, race, position or wealth.
Death can come any time to anyone. Death robs parents of the precious child, leaving them to mourn the loss. Death snatches the breadwinner from a family and deprives the spouse and children leaving then vulnerable in this hostile world.. Death grabs the aging spouse leaving the white haired elderly partner without a life long companion and closest friend. Yes, death is cruel.
But in Christ we know death is not the end. There is life after death. Jesus is the resurrection and the life. Death has no sting, grave has no victory for Jesus is alive and when we are in Him, at death we go to meet Him.
Last night I was invited to conduct the Wake at the void deck at Yishun. In my message I reminded the friends and relatives at the wake of the resurrection.
Allan Ng is not dead but alive forevermore and we shall meet him in Heaven. Let us continue in our walk of faith and one day it will be our turn to leave this world and meet our loved ones there.
