Romans 8:28 Sermon Notes
November 26, 2023

The BIG Question: Are you an 828er?

First of many questions…

Perhaps you saw or heard of the Netflix drama Manifest. The premise was this: While traveling from Jamaica to New York City, Montego Air Flight 828 experienced a brief period of severe turbulence. When they land in New York, the plane’s 191 passengers and crew learn that over five and a half years have passed while they were in the air, during which time they were presumed dead. As they rejoin society, the passengers must face the fact that while their lives haven’t changed, the lives of their loved ones have experienced 5 ½ years of change. The passengers began to be known as 828ers. Not only was 828 the flight that they were on but Romans 8:28 was the favorite Bible verse of the mom of several main characters.

True or False: (answer in your head) All things work together for good?

“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”

On the morning of October 25, a few years ago, Harry made a decision that not only would tremendously affect his life but would also tremendously affect the lives of hundreds of other families.

He got up before dawn that day, sat down at his desk and penned this letter to his fiance:

My Darling,

In the years to come do not ever doubt how much I loved you.

I am filled with much sadness as I write this letter. Sadness because I will never hold you in my arms again. Sadness because we will not enjoy our wedding day. Sadness because we will not have a family or grow old together.

No doubt by the time this letter reaches you you will have heard of my death. I hope that you will remember me as a courageous and honorable man who was willing to die for a cause he desperately believed in. I do not regret my decision – my only regret is that I cannot look into your eyes, tell you again how much I love you, and kiss you one last time.

One day all this craziness will be over and life will be normal again. My hope is that you will find love again and enjoy your life knowing that you were very very loved.

All my love,

Harry
