Been thinking a lot about death lately. Have heard of several instances in the past couple of weeks about loved ones dying or having certain deadly diseases, both the saved and the unsaved. I tryed to get into the mind of an unsaved person getting ready to die, and O how frightful, even not being in the situation. To consider one without hope passing out of life, not having received Christ in life, and dying twice, without Him. In life, they have nothing to look forward to, whether they believe in hell or not, the consideration of death is torment. But, why is death so bad for we who are redeemed? Why are we saddened at the thought? While we live, it is unto Chirst, to the Glory of the Holy. When we die, we should already be used to it, for in life we die daily for Christ's sake, so do we die physically, only the end being the casting off of this piece of filth and seeing His face, thereby being at last changed into His image. That is a day "when life's trials and torments are no more, and we may worship before His very feet forevermore, when His glory is proclaimed through the mighty works He has wrought, and at His hand His enemies to shame are brought; when the unashamed statnd hand-in-hand with their Lord in the glory-land. This is a day, a beginning, to which life has lead; the glory of man's Head, Who is risen, but for three days was dead. Glory be to the Holy Three-in-One, the battle is finished, the war won." Do not fret death, for to fret it is to claim earthly treasures. "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." As Dr. J. stated today concerning one who had passed, "I'm jealous." Profound, really, concidering the heart of man. Be jealous. Be very jealous.
