SAD NEWS: DR. DAVID JEREMIAH HAS ANSWERED GOD’S CALL AT 84
The sanctuary of Shadow Mountain Community Church was filled with a reverent silence, the kind that comes when a great servant of God has finished his race. The news spread like a soft whisper through the congregation, and soon across the world—Dr. David Jeremiah had answered God’s call at the age of 84.
The pulpit where he had preached thousands of sermons stood empty, his well-worn Bible resting on it, still open to the last passage he had shared with his people. “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” (2 Timothy 4:7). His voice, always steady and filled with wisdom, seemed to echo in the walls of the great church he had shepherded for so many years.
For decades, Dr. Jeremiah had preached the Gospel with clarity and conviction, drawing millions closer to Christ through his unwavering faith and deep understanding of Scripture. He had faced battles—personal illness, hardships, and the ever-changing tides of the world—but he never wavered. Even in his final days, he reminded those around him that his hope was not in this world, but in the promise of eternity.
His last sermon had been one of his most powerful yet. He spoke of heaven with a glimmer in his eye, as if he could already see the golden streets awaiting him. “Do not be troubled when I am gone,” he had said. “Rejoice, for I will be home. And one day, you will be too.”
The church was not just in mourning but in reflection, honoring a man who had dedicated his entire life to spreading the Word of God. His books lined the shelves of countless homes, his broadcasts reached corners of the world he had never set foot in, and his teachings would continue to impact lives long after his departure.
Though their hearts ached, the congregation lifted their voices in song, just as he would have wanted. The choir sang “It Is Well with My Soul,” and in that moment, peace washed over them.
Dr. David Jeremiah was not truly gone. He had simply gone home, answering the final call of the One he had so faithfully served.
