Many of the (so-called) great and confident natural men have no peace at all when they think of death. Chief Justice Wendell Holmes wrote to a friend, "I live in cringing fear of death. Underneath the light exterior of my life, which is nothing more than the role of an actor, lies the stark reality that I am growing old and I do so in fear and trembling." Not so the believer in Christ! Paul wrote "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain, I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ, which is far better" (Phil 1:21,23).
