The tragic death of Jackson hits the hardest among those who knew him best and believed in him most. His childhood was saddening, and the effects of his success in adulthood is all the more heart breaking.

I also think this is a good time to examine ourselves in light of Jackson’s passing. In all of us there is a desire to be made much of in this world. Jackson sold over $750 million worldwide in record albums to pass away with $400 million in debt and the loss of his own fantasy kingdom. Across our country are thousands (millions?) of similar stories where making much of this world has result in the loss of everything they had that brought them their identity. Until people find their treasure in Christ, they will continue to be saddened, disappointed, and leave life bankrupt of the mercy and grace only found in Jesus.

May God help us so live and speak that those who have erected their own kingdoms will see our King and unshakable kingdom and give it all away in pursuit of glorifying Him.

Great thoughts Tim. I couldn’t help but feel a bit sad when I heard the news. I know many conservatives will focus only on Jackson’s sins and take certain satisfaction in his passing, but I cannot help but think of a soul that has passed into eternity without Christ and without hope. One can easily find the gospel even in Jackson’s death- all his fame, fortune, talent, etc… couldn’t save him in the end from the certainty of death and final judgment. I can only pray that the deaths of the past few days will turn some to consider their own mortality and the gospel which alone can give them hope in the face of death.
