It is with deep sadness we mourn the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Our hearts go out to her loved ones in sympathy whilst also offering thanks that she is now at home with her Friend and Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ.

As protocol and pageantry prepared to announce the tragic loss of a treasured monarch and her family began to mourn the intimate loss of a much-loved Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother on earth, the scenes in Paradise were, as ever, quite different.

We learn in the book of Psalms in the Bible that in the sight of God the death of a faithful servant is precious (Psalm 116:15). Jesus Christ took time to comfort those He loved before He left this earth, telling them “I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” (John 14:3). The Psalms also teach us that “Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”
(Psalm 16:11).

In our deep sadness it is beautiful to think that there is a warm and precious welcome for a faithful servant of Jesus Christ, on the other side of the valley of the shadow of death. The lady to whom all of Earth’s dignitaries and nobles have bowed for the last seven decades now bows with deep joy at the feet of her Saviour and Lord.
While our nation remembers a life lived in dutiful, loyal constancy and the profo

und loss of her parting dawns upon our mortal souls, our Queen commences an eternity where she will know pleasures for evermore in the presence of the risen Saviour, God’s Son, Jesus Christ.

But how can we be so sure of a home in heaven and an eternity with Christ which, the Bible states, is better by far (Philippians 1:23)? How could our late Queen be so sure of hope in the gospel as told out in the Bible?

Her majesty answered this question in her 2011 Christmas broadcast – “Although we are capable of great acts of kindness, history teaches us that we sometimes need saving from ourselves – from our recklessness or our greed. God sent into the world a unique person – neither a philosopher nor a general, important though they are, but a Saviour, with the power to forgive.” The Saviour she speaks of here is Jesus Christ, God’s son who died and rose again from the dead so that we could be forgiven in God’s sight and receive new life through in Him.

Jesus said:

“I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6)

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. ” (Matt 11:28)

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you … Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (John 14:27)

Our beloved late Queen once said: “I know just how much I rely on my own faith to guide me through the good times and the bad. Each day is a new beginning, I know that the only way to live my life is to try to do what is right, to take the long view, to give of my best in all that the day brings, and to put my trust in God.

In a speech delivered on her behalf to the Church of England’s General Synod by her son, Prince Edward, in November 2021, she affirmed “None of us can slow down the passage of time…However, the Gospel has brought hope now, as it has been throughout the centuries.”

In the book of Romans in the Bible, the Apostle Paul writes these words of reassurance which we can claim for ourselves today: “Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.” (Romans 15:13). By trusting in Jesus Christ today we can truly know, like the late Queen Elizabeth II, “I have been – and remain – very grateful to…God for his steadfast love. I have indeed seen his faithfulness.”

But how can we be so sure of a home in heaven and an eternity with Christ which, the Bible states, is better by far (Philippians 1:23)? How could our late Queen be so sure of hope in the gospel as told out in the Bible?

It is with deep sadness we mourn the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Our hearts go out to her loved ones in sympathy whilst also offering thanks that she is now at home with her Friend and Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ.

As protocol and pageantry prepared to announce the tragic loss of a treasured monarch and her family began to mourn the intimate loss of a much-loved Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother on earth, the scenes in Paradise were, as ever, quite different.

We learn in the book of Psalms in the Bible that in the sight of God the death of a faithful servant is precious (Psalm 116:15). Jesus Christ took time to comfort those He loved before He left this earth, telling them “I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” (John 14:3). The Psalms also teach us that “Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”
(Psalm 16:11).

In our deep sadness it is beautiful to think that there is a warm and precious welcome for a faithful servant of Jesus Christ, on the other side of the valley of the shadow of death. The lady to whom all of Earth’s dignitaries and nobles have bowed for the last seven decades now bows with deep joy at the feet of her Saviour and Lord.
While our nation remembers a life lived in dutiful, loyal constancy and the profo

und loss of her parting dawns upon our mortal souls, our Queen commences an eternity where she will know pleasures for evermore in the presence of the risen Saviour, God’s Son, Jesus Christ.

But how can we be so sure of a home in heaven and an eternity with Christ which, the Bible states, is better by far (Philippians 1:23)? How could our late Queen be so sure of hope in the gospel as told out in the Bible?

Her majesty answered this question in her 2011 Christmas broadcast – “Although we are capable of great acts of kindness, history teaches us that we sometimes need saving from ourselves – from our recklessness or our greed. God sent into the world a unique person – neither a philosopher nor a general, important though they are, but a Saviour, with the power to forgive.” The Saviour she speaks of here is Jesus Christ, God’s son who died and rose again from the dead so that we could be forgiven in God’s sight and receive new life through in Him.

Jesus said:

“I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6)

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. ” (Matt 11:28)

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you … Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (John 14:27)

Our beloved late Queen once said: “I know just how much I rely on my own faith to guide me through the good times and the bad. Each day is a new beginning, I know that the only way to live my life is to try to do what is right, to take the long view, to give of my best in all that the day brings, and to put my trust in God.

In a speech delivered on her behalf to the Church of England’s General Synod by her son, Prince Edward, in November 2021, she affirmed “None of us can slow down the passage of time…However, the Gospel has brought hope now, as it has been throughout the centuries.”

In the book of Romans in the Bible, the Apostle Paul writes these words of reassurance which we can claim for ourselves today: “Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.” (Romans 15:13). By trusting in Jesus Christ today we can truly know, like the late Queen Elizabeth II, “I have been – and remain – very grateful to…God for his steadfast love. I have indeed seen his faithfulness.”
