It's Not Wrong to Weep Over Death

It's Not Wrong to Weep Over Death

By Randy Alcorn

July 17, 2013

In this video clip, Randy Alcorn shares a quote from Charles Spurgeon that encourages us that we do not need to grieve excessively over the death of our believing loved ones because they are not lost. They are enjoying their eternal triumph with the Lord. But Randy clarifies that it is not wrong to weep over death, since Jesus wept over the death of Lazarus.

This video clip was excerpted from Randy's Eternity 101 DVD class.
