A Celebration of Life
by Guthrie Veech
Jesus said it best, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10). That is our celebration of (name of deceased ) today. We do not come to mourn. We come to celebrate a life well lived. Watch this video. (Show video of the life of the deceased. )
Matthew 10:39 is a great Scripture for us to consider today. “Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.” That Scripture is a perfect description of the way (name of deceased ) lived his life. He loved life and lived it well. His story was blended into the story of so many others. I want you to laugh and cry with us as we hear those stories. (Have three friends or family members tell the humorous and inspirational stories of the deceased person. )
This song best describes the life of (name of deceased ). (Have a song played that was especially loved by the deceased. This might be a secular song. )
Moses said in Deuteronomy 30:19, 20, “Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life.” (Name of deceased ) practiced that. He chose life! He loved the Lord. He listened to the voice of God. He held fast to the way of Christ. The Lord was his life. Why did (name of deceased ) celebrate life? He loved Jesus. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He wanted us to choose life. His number one desire was for each of us to choose life.
(Close in prayer.)
