John 8:12
Christ is risen! He is risen, indeed! If Jesus Christ Our Lord and Saviour had remained dead and in His tomb, darkness and discouragement, sadness, sorrow, sin, and Satan would rule our lives. But Jesus Christ Our Lord and Saviour is risen and His living Light permeates and transforms the hopeless heart, the anxious mind. Lord, today we ask You to shine in those places where darkness seems invincible. Grant Your light, Lord, to us all. Amen.
I looked hard to find a story which would touch upon the theme of this message. You should know there are such stories. For example, I could tell you the sad and strange story of Vera Czermak of Prague, Czechoslovakia. Although Vera had suspected her husband's unfaithfulness for some time, the day came when Vera had proof. Into her hands was placed incontrovertible evidence that her husband had been seeing another woman. The news rocked Vera's world.
In dark desperation Vera considered ending her life. Then, perhaps a little more sensibly, she evaluated the wisdom of shortening her husband's days. Slowly, Vera concluded that, in spite of all her husband had done, she couldn't kill the lowlife. Painstakingly and with tears Vera made her preparations to die. Wishing to be well thought of when she was gone, Vera cleaned the house; she stocked the refrigerator; she cooked a meal; she wrote a letter of explanation... a suicide note. Only after these sad details had been completed, did Vera open the window of their third-floor apartment. She wiggled out and sat for a moment on the sill. She pushed off. Vera Czermak should have died that day. She didn't. She received only minor injuries because her fall was broken by her husband. Totally by accident, and unseen by Vera, the philandering husband walked up to the apartment building at the precise moment Vera jumped. The report says, when Vera landed on him, he died instantly.
Yes, I could tell stories about the topic before us today. I could tell you the terribly tragic tale of the man who was shot and killed by police in Long Beach, New York. Actually the man never should have died. He had been acting suspiciously when he was approached by the officers. The police intended to merely ask the man some questions. Before they could begin, the man spun away from the officers, reached into his pocket and brought out his concealed gun. Instinctively, understandably, the policeman grabbed their own guns and fired at point blank range. The policemen could not have known the gun was a child's plastic toy.
An ambulance was called, but by the time the emergency vehicle arrived the destination was the coroner not the hospital. It was there, at the County Coroner's Office, as the doctor began to undress the man so he might perform an autopsy, a note was found. Taken from the dead man's overcoat pocket, the handwritten message was short and simple. It said, "To the officer who shot me: I'm sorry to get you involved. I just needed to die."
Yes, I can tell you stories about today's topic: suicide. I could tell you about the eight souls from my parishes who took their lives. Each one had a story, but I won't tell you those stories. Even now, decades after those terrible tragedies occurred, those memories are still fresh, still painful, still confusing to families, friends, spouses, and children who were touched; who were devastated and scarred when someone traded their love for a self-inflicted death. No, I won't tell you their stories, indeed, I would not touch upon the subject of suicide at all if it were not for the fact that in the last seven days I have been informed of two young, church-going men, men who, in a desire to escape the darkness, took their own lives. In my hand I hold the letter of some parents whose son committed suicide. They wrote to me and said this: "Where is God when bad things happen?"
And then I answered, "He's right there standing at the door of our hearts knocking and waiting for us to let Him provide His mercy, grace, and peace."
Today, as I speak about suicide, I beg the forgiveness of my listeners who have never thought of ending their lives; who have never encountered a darkness so deep, experienced a pain so unrelenting, a grief so great, a guilt so unforgivable, a loneliness so all-encompassing, a depression so overwhelming that you would do anything to escape it. Every year, in the United States alone, there are 30,000 souls who succeed in taking their lives because sin and Satan have convinced them the unknown shadows of suicide are better than continuing their painful present. If you have never felt life is not worth living; if you have never come to believe that all your tomorrows will always be darker than all of your todays, then please, give thanks this message is not directed toward you.
Give thanks and ask God to touch the many hearts who are being convinced the permanence of suicide is the only solution to their temporary trials. There are many who feel that way, you know. A few minutes ago I referred to 30,000 suicides. 30,000 is a very large number but you should know every one of those 30,000 is matched by eight more who try and fail. Now the reasons which bring people to such a dark moment are varied. The Bible tells of King Saul who took his life so he might avoid future pain; there was a royal adviser named Ahithophel who committed suicide when he had lost face at court; of course there was Judas who hung himself in shame and to atone for his sin.
In contrast to that list of sad souls from the Bible who committed suicide stands another group, a group who did not, even in the face of overwhelming darkness and discouragement, take their lives. There was Elijah, God's mighty prophet who had boldly faced down ungodly kings and queens; who had gone head to head with a host of idolatrous priests. Even so, the day came when Elijah lost hope and felt overcome by loneliness and exhaustion. At that moment he prayed that he might die. (1 Kings 19:1-18) Elijah saw only loneliness and exhaustion, but he did not take his life.
There had been a time when Job had been a wealthy man, a respected family man. Then those riches of life were taken away and Job grew discouraged. His words express the thoughts of many who contemplate suicide. From thousands of years ago, listen to Job's words of hopelessness: "Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul....so that I would choose strangling and death rather than my bones. 16I loathe my life; I would not live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are a breath." (Job 7:11, 15-16) Still, if your life is unbearable, there is not much comfort to be derived from knowing others are miserable. Job was despondent, but he did not take his own life.
So, what can I say which might move you from the first group to the second? Should I threaten you with the fires of hell if you were to take your own life; should I frighten you with an eternity far worse, far more painful, far more hopeless than anything you have ever experienced? Some preachers, some denominations would have me do that. Of course, just as many pastors and churches would say, "Hold on, The word suicide doesn't even show up in the Bible. So how can you say anyone who commits suicide is going to hell?" They've got a point you know. The word suicide doesn't appear in Scripture. On the other hand, there is a commandment not to murder, and I have to believe that would include murdering yourself. So, what's the answer? Do people who commit suicide go to heaven or do they go to hell?
That is the ultimate question, isn't it? That is the question which has every listener leaning forward Nobody wants to miss a word of what's coming next. I know I need to pick my words carefully. Years ago, a man in my congregation came up to me and said, you should know that if I thought you would have given me a Christian funeral, I would have committed suicide two years ago." If I say you can get away with suicide and get a free pass to heaven, some of you will try it. It's that simple. Some of you will. On the other hand, if I say everyone who commits suicide goes directly to hell, I had better have a passage, a bunch of passages from Scripture which back me up.
What can I say to you? I won't say everyone who commits suicide automatically goes to hell. There are times when people who know Jesus, who know Him as their Savior, and everything I say is dependent upon sinful souls acknowledging their transgression and their total dependency upon the forgiveness and salvation Jesus has won; ... there are times when people who know Jesus simply aren't responsible for their actions. No longer in their right minds, they do things, say things to all of their loved ones which they would never, ever think of doing if they were in control of their faculties. I cannot prove it, and I emphasize that I cannot prove it from Scripture, but I am compelled to believe that even as an earthly family will make allowances for a sick loved one, our gracious God who loves each of us as no one else has ever loved us, will do no less. But I need you to understand, I cannot point to a Bible verse and prove what I have just said... not in so many words.
So then, do all people who commit suicide go to heaven? That should be the next logical question. After all, isn't everyone who commits suicide out of his or her mind? No, not at all. King Saul knew what he was doing when he fell on his sword. Kamikaze pilots of WW II knew what they were doing; the suicide bombers of the Mid-East know what they are doing. These have all been coldly committed and logically dedicated to a cause. These people realize the consequence of their actions and the Lord will hold them accountable. Of course, if they don't know Jesus as their Savior, talking about heaven is already a moot point, isn't it?
Ask your question again: do all people who commit suicide go to heaven? It is a simple question. Here is a simple answer: I think not. Naturally, since my word and opinion count for nothing, you will want proof from the Bible. This then is my twofold proof. Jesus Christ Our Lord and Saviour had a disciple, Judas was his name. Judas was not just Jesus' disciple; he was also Jesus' betrayer. For the price of a broken-down slave, Judas made arrangements to betray his Redeemer. Jesus, knowing what was going to happen to Him, did His very best to dissuade Judas from his traitorous act. At the Last Supper they had together, Jesus said, I am going to My death as Scripture has said I would, "but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born."
During the course of Jesus Christ Our Lord and Saviours' ministry, He dealt with thieving tax collectors and prostitutes; with people who hated Him and tried to murder Him. During the next 24 hours, men would arrest Him, lie about Him, beat Him, whip Him, spit on Him, and nail Him to a cross. As He hung dying, Jesus looked at those who had hated Him and were murdering Him. Through the pain, quite unbelievably, Jesus prayed about these killers, "Father forgive them for they don't know what they're doing." As Jesus died for them, for you and me, He had words of forgiveness. But to Judas, He said, "it would have been better for him not to have been born." Understand, Judas could have been forgiven for the betrayal in the Garden of Gethsemane. Peter denied his Saviour three times and was forgiven; the Apostle Paul was a murderer and he was forgiven. But to Judas, Judas who tried to pay for his sin by committing suicide and offering his life for Jesus' innocent life, the Saviour could only say: "It would have been better if he had not been born."
And there is yet one more proof I offer. In the days between Jesus' resurrection and the birth of the church on Pentecost, the disciples took care of some business. One thing they did not do was claim the body of Judas or give it a proper burial. When John the Baptist died, his followers claimed the body and buried it. (Mt. 14:12). In the early church when people were martyred, their remains were collected for burial. But the disciples made no attempt to give Judas a proper send off. Instead, the disciples' first order of business was to replace Judas who had gone "to his own place..." (Acts 1:25) That's the way they said it... 'gone to his own place.' And that place wasn't heaven. Suicide and heaven? I don't think the two mix very well. In my opinion It just doesn't
What can I say to you who are thinking of committing suicide? With all my heart, I say, 'please don't.' Suicide will not end your problems; it will only transfer them to someone who cares about you. Even worse, those problems will be amplified because those people who care will agonize as they ask, "What might I have done to prevent this?" And do not say, 'Nobody cares about you, nobody understands." If you have nobody else who cares, you have a Saviour. In the church we often say, 'Jesus came to save the world." That is accurate... but it's just as accurate to say, "Jesus came to save you." By that I mean you as an individual. Are you guilty and embarrassed because of something terrible you have done? When Jesus died, He died to take away that sin. 2,000 years ago, He saw you, He saw your sin, and He sacrificed Himself so you could be forgiven.
Do you feel alone? Are you afraid? Are you at your wit's end? Jesus who died for you, also rose from the dead for you. Even now, although unseen, He stands at your side, sending His Holy Spirit so you might be turned to Him, so you might lean upon Him. This is His invitation, you know. He said, 'cast all your care on Me, because I care for you.' And He does. There is nothing that can befall you which the two of you cannot carry together. I don't know what pain rips through you, but I know Jesus can bring peace. I don't know what deep darkness surrounds you, but I do know Jesus is the light of the world. He promises, "Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
Do you remember? At the beginning of this Sermon I read a letter from the parents of a man who had committed suicide. Theirs was a letter of thanksgiving to a wonderful God. A letter of thanksgiving?! I didn't tell you what they were thankful for, did I? I'll tell you now. They were thankful that when their son shot himself, the bullet had not damaged the corneas of his eyes. They were thankful that the Lord was allowing people to see through his transplanted corneas; that hearts were beating because of their son's transplanted heart valves. They were thankful, and they were also prayerful. This is what they said, "Because of this, perhaps, one of these people will be brought to know their Lord and Saviour."
For these parents, in the darkest of moments, Jesus Christ Our Lord and Saviour has provided light. At a time when depression, despair, gloom, and darkness should be at their greatest, Jesus has brought them light. This is His power. This is what He can do. He can, my friends, do the same for you. That mother prayed, "Because of this, perhaps, one of these... will be brought to know their Lord and Savior." Are you that person for whom she is praying? What will you do? Repent, believe, be saved, be brought into the light. And to that end, if I can help reflect Jesus Christ Our Lord and Saviours' light into your particular darkness, please write me or my daughter at our inbox anytime Amen

"Why should there be hunger and deprivation in any land, in any city, at any table, when man has the resources and the scientific know-how to provide all mankind with the basic necessities of life?"
