Three days after the news broke on Good Friday, April 15, 2022, Episcopal Sister Adelaide Heward-Mills, the mother of the late doctor, has also shared her first words with the public since the death of her son.
Sharing a heartwarming photo with her son, she shared a scripture from the Bible that describes the challenges that Christians go through so much to the point of being “crushed” and “overwhelmed.”
The scriptures from 2 Corinthians 1:8-11 also speak about the need for Christians to look beyond relying on themselves, to depending solely on God who is able to raise the dead back to life.
“2 Cor 1:8-11 NLT “We think you ought to know, dear brothers and sisters, about the trouble we went through in the province of Asia. We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it.
“9. In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead.
“10. And he did rescue us from mortal danger, and he will rescue us again. We have placed our confidence in him, and he will continue to rescue us.
“11. And you are helping us by praying for us. Then many people will give thanks because God has graciously answered so many prayers for our safety,” she wrote.
