J.I. PACKER

J.I. Packer (1926-2020) academic and writer died July 17, 2020 at 94. His popular book ‘Knowing God’ was an early favorite of mine as well as to millions of others. Here is a short quote from that book:

“What will make heaven to be heaven is the presence of Jesus, and of a reconciled divine Father who loves us for Jesus’ sake no less than he loves Jesus himself. To see, and know, and love, and be loved by, the Father and the Son, in company with the rest of God’s vast family, is the whole essence of the Christian hope.” 

A giant Redwood has fallen in the forest. Bless you J.I. Packer.

“I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.” Jesus
