End of a Life...Beginning of Eternity

This morning, I attended a funeral. The deceased was a secondary school classmate of mine. He worked a short while after finishing Form 5 in 1969. Then he suffered from depression and mental entanglement that he never fully recovered. He had not worked since probably the early 70's. He survived with the support of his family members.

He had high blood pressure and diabetes. He was also on medication for mental problem. Now that he had died, his family who had been taking care of him finally could let go of a burden.

It was a Christian funeral because he came to know the Lord not long ago according to an old schoolmate I met at the funeral.

Sometimes, I still wonder: what is the purpose of living a life like this ?

I think one of the reasons is that: so that somebody can do a small thing for this person which is in fact done on Jesus Christ Himself.
