Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett; two people who had all the admiration and affection of the masses. They also had all the money they could ever dream of.
Yet yesterday, it all meant absolutely nothing. Their popularity and wealth could not help them escape that great enemy called death. John Piper wrote:
"Farrah Fawcett (62), Michael Jackson (50) and 150,000 others: 'A flower of the field; the wind passes, and it is gone.'"
There is only one deliverer from death; and his name is not money, or fame.
Let's grieve their loss, and celebrate what a great hope is found in Christ.
(Justin Taylor weighs in with a great little reflection on Jackson's death.)
