WHAT  a waste of money to bury some bones. Bones are not the person – the soul is.

If we believe Richard III sought Christ and found him for his salvation, and I do, then his bones have no value because some day we believers in Christ will have new bodies.

There is only one king in heaven – Lord Jesus Christ. There are no kings, no prime ministers, just believers saved by faith and grace.

When we die, we believers fall asleep in Christ, waiting for the great awakening. When Christ comes again, those who are asleep in Christ, like Richard, will rise first.

I am looking forward to meeting Richard. We will have a lot to talk about, but I won’t be first in the queue.

Lord Jesus Christ told no lies. He said the truth would set us free – that’s good enough for me, and the thousands of Richards all over the world.
