Stephen’s desire for you….
If you are reading this page as a visitor to this website, it is our privilege to honor the request of our beloved Stephen to share the Gospel of Christ with you as he asked his family to do in his final letter to us. He said, “I pray that you will witness to many people, because I could never even bring myself to share the gospel with even one single soul.” We offer this Gospel message to you from God’s Word, the Holy Bible. The apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 3:3-4 (KJV) “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures”. This simple message that Paul expounded was accepted in the heart of Stephen as a boy. He read it, he believed on it, received it and he stood on it as the foundation of his faith in Christ, his Lord and Savior. The solace we have as a family is that we know where Stephen is this very moment and we rejoice in the fact that he is present right now in Heaven with Jesus Christ. We also know that someday as a family that received and believed and stand upon that same simple gospel message, that we will see Stephen again and be united with Jesus our Savior! We stand on that hope and it gives us strength to endure the pain and grief we know from his passing.
If you have never taken that step of faith in Jesus and received that simple gospel message into your heart and believed on it, we ask you to take a moment right now and with a contrite heart that you will consider it. Open God’s Word, the Holy Bible and read it for yourself with an open heart. Our family joins with Stephen now in asking you to take this step. Let Jesus Christ make a difference in your life. We promise, you will never regret it. Your eternal destiny is at stake!
If you are a believer, and you are reading this page, we ask that you rejoice in the faith of Christ in you, and that you commit this very moment to grow even closer to Him each and every day. Let the Gospel message of Christ mature in your heart by dwelling in His Word daily. Make it a part of your daily routine and fill your mind and heart with God’s Word of hope, grace, faith and healing.
We pray God’s blessings on you in this moment and ask you to cling to the hope that we have in Christ!
The Family of James Stephen Cooper
