What do You Want On Your Tombstone? What will be written of us when we are dead? |
What Do You Want On Your Tombstone?
All will die and stand in judgment (Heb. 9:27); but how
will you be remembered? Will any of these epitaphs fit you?
1. Asleep in Jesus (1 Cor. 15:18; 1 Thess. 4:13-14)
2. At Rest (Rev. 14:13; Matt. 16:27; John 5:28-29; 2 Cor. 5:10)
3. Though Dead, Yet Speaketh (Heb. 11:4; Phil. 2:14-16)
4. Walked With God (Gen. 5:24; 1 John 1:7; Matt. 7:21)
5. A Good Man (Acts 11:23-24)
6. A Devout Man (Acts 10:2)
7. Kept the Faith (2 Tim. 4:7)
8. Faithful Unto Death (Rev. 2:10; Heb. 12:4)
9. Faithful Servant (Matt. 25:21, 23)
Our tombstone is temporary (2 Pet. 3:11), what matters is will
these things be true descriptions of our lives before God?
