‘It’s not that I’m afraid to die. I just don’t want to be there when it happens’.So quipped the actor Woody Allen as he contemplated the one reality we allmust face. But it is not just our own death that we will experience some day.We will also experience the loss which death brings when it claims a lovedone, be that a mother or father, husband or wife. brother or sister, son ordaughter. Such an experience brings pain and sadness, something to whichthe Bible is not oblivious as evidenced in the ministry of Jesus who wept atthe graveside of his friend Lazarus, the brother of Martha and Mary.WHEN SORROW COMES is a short four part evening series in which weconsider what the Bible says about death and dying, bereavement and loss.We begin with ’The Reality of Suffering’ turning to the experience of Job.We then turn to the Book of Lamentations as we think of ’The Pain of Loss’,then to Psalm 23 and to ’The Valley of the Shadow of Death’ and finally toRomans Ch. 8 and ’The Hope of Glory’.This is a series for young and old alike since none of us know how and whendeath will strike. But though we sorrow we do not grieve as others do whohave no hope
