IN MEMORY OF OUR BROTHER IN CHRIST

ROBERT BARTH

DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST,

IT IS WITH MY DEEPEST SORROW TO NOTIFY YOU OF OUR BOTHER’S, ROBERT’S PASSING ON OCTOBER 3RD 2020. EVENTHOUGH HE IS NO LONGER WITH US, HE IS NOW IN A BETTER PLACE.

HE HAD BEEN IN HOSPICE SINCE AUGUST 28TH. MOST OF HIS ADULT LIFE HE HAD BEEN SUFFERING FROM CONSTANT PAIN AND FROM AUTOIMUNE, CARDIAC, SKELETAL, GASTRIC, AND VISUAL DISEASES. THROUGH THE YEARS THESE PROBLEMS HAD INTENSIFIED. HE KEPT HIS MIND OFF HIS PROBLEMS BY READING AND STUDYING THE BIBLE, LISTENING TO BIBLE LESSONS AND SERMONS, EITHER AT CHURCH, ON THE RADIO, OR TELEVISION. HE ALWAYS TRIED TO BE PERFECT AS OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN IS PERFECT. HE WAS AN ARCHITECT. HE WOULD DESIGN DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOMES, IT GAVE HIM GREAT JOY. BUT AS HE GOT WEAKER, AND HIS VISION BEGAN TO FAIL, HE DID LESS OF ARCHITECTUAL DESIGN. HE WOULD PRAY TO THE LORD EVERY DAY FOR HIMSELF AND OTHERS. HE DID NOT WANT TO FEEL SORRY FOR HIMSELF BECAUSE HE WOULD SAY THAT THERE WERE OTHERS THAT WERE SUFFERING MORE THAN HE WAS. AT THE END HE WAS NO LONGER CAPABLE OF DOING THE THINGS THAT MADE HIM HAPPY. HE GAVE OVER HIS PAIN AND SUFFERING TO THE LORD.

I WAS WITH HIM WHEN HE WAS CALLED UP TO SEE HIS SAVIOR. THE LONG PAINFUL EARTHLY JOURNEY IS OVER, HE IS FINALLY FREE. HE HAS BEEN GIVEN HIS NEW SPIRITUAL BODY WITHOUT PAIN OR SORROW. HE IS NOW IN PARADISE WITH OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN. HE HAS PEACE, JOY, GLADNESS, AND PERFECTION.

ROBERT WILL SEE THE ARCHITECTUAL BEAUTY OF THE NEW JERUSELUM, AND MAYBE THE LORD WILL UTILIZE ROBERT IN ITS DESIGN.

I AND OTHERS WILL MISS HIM, BUT WE WILL MEET HIM AGAIN WHEN WE ARE CALLED BY OUR LORD.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU PRAYERS.

“PRAISED THE LORD!”

SINCERELY,

KARL BARTH, BROTHER IN CHRIST.
