Picture a puzzle when it is all put together in its entirety. The man who put the puzzle together takes a piece and puts it on another table. In between the tables there is a gap, a separation. Then he takes another piece and puts it on the other table recreating the puzzle and keeps doing this until the puzzle is put together again in its entirety on the other table..
This is what we want to happen with our family’s puzzle when someone transitions. We want the pieces of our family, our puzzle to be reassembled on the other side. We want to be a complete permanent picture again. My prayer is to make sure all my family puzzle pieces get to the other side and that none of them are missing.
Spiritually speaking to get to the other side, God’s heaven, Jesus’ home, we must have a transporter in between those tables. The person who bridges the gap for us is the Lord Jesus Christ. None of us can get over that gap by ourselves. Getting 99.2% across that gap will not do. The Word of God says in the Book of Romans chapter 3 verse 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” In other words we need someone to transport us all the way over to the next table.
I must be 100% reassured that I am safely getting to the other side. Jesus said in the Book of John chapter 14 verse 6 “I am the way the truth and the life. No one goes to the Father but by me.” In other words, unequivocally, we will not get to the other side by any other way. If we have connected in anyway you are a part of my puzzle here on earth. Like my son, Winston, I want to see you on the other side.
