Your work in the Lord is not in vain*

Yesterday afternoon I watched the livestream of Tim Keller’s Memorial Service in Manhattan. It was no celebrity show. There was no super choir. No pomp–It was strictly Presbyterian down the line, with men in grey suits, plenty of scripture, good hymns and Christ at the center. As one would expect, Keller wrote down his detailed wishes before he died and they were followed scrupulously. Remarkably, it was held in Saint Patrick’s Cathedral–presumably to accommodate the size of the congregation and because he and Cardinal Dolan were friends. Cardinal Dolan welcomed the gathering and then humbly stepped aside.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. (John 14:27)

Keep us in Christ Jesus.

Here’s the bulletin. You can watch it here.
