[Apologetics] Pope John Paul II

[Dianne Dawson]

A friend and I were talking last night and she brought up Isaiah 52: 13-15.  I don't normally like singling out one or two verses because you can always find a biblical verse to confirm most every point.  However,  I think this is time appropriate and gives one pause.  In the late stages of Parkinson's disease the Holy Father's looks were certainly marred. Not only were the effects on his face and body but also in his speech.  It always made the media and a lot of viewers uncomfortable to see him unashamedly appear in public.  Now there are delegations from THIRTY countries attending his funeral as well as at least two million other people (not counting those who will be watching on TV).  I dare to wager that the peoples of the world will stand still during this great man's funeral on Friday. - Dianne
 
 
Isaiah
Chapter 52

13 
   3 See, my servant shall prosper, he shall be raised high and greatly exalted. 
14 
   Even as many were amazed at him-- so marred was his look beyond that of man, and his appearance beyond that of mortals-- 
15 
   So shall he startle many nations, because of him kings shall stand speechless; For those who have not been told shall see, those who have not heard shall ponder it. 


Like a deer that longs for running waters so my soul longs for you, O God.

Ps 42:1
