Tough Question

Last night, I got hit with an extremely tough question...


A woman told me, with tears in her eyes, that in a couple weeks it will be one year since her dad died.  In the discussion, she asked me what happened to him...where he is.  She said that he did not believe in Jesus...


Before I could even answer, she said 'I know where he is because God is fair, right?  The Bible says God is fair, right?'  This is the difficult and painful flip side of the first quote that I posted last time.  It's easy to have deep thoughts about sovereignty or whatever when someone isn't pleading with you for confirmation that a loved one is in heaven.


How do you answer this question...can you do it with both truth and love?
