But I know I'm old. But the great thing to me, Ted, is that it wasn't my idea to be born in 1926, it was God's idea. The Bible says the path of the just is as a shining light that shines more and more unto the perfect day. So I want to embrace my old age, I want to acknowledge it, and I want to thank God for it. We can witness uniquely, I think, in the different stages of our life.
Young people can witness very effectively, especially to other young people.
Then middle age we have a witness, and we also have a witness at old age too. I think it particularly applies to the fear of death. The Bible tells us that in the flesh there's a great fear of death. If we've been delivered from that, what an opportunity to be an example to others, that there is an escape from the fear of death. We don't have to be afraid of death if we have Christ as our hope, as our Savior, and as our very life.
