DEATH A DEPARTURE
DEATH A DEPARTURE
"Having a desire to depart" &c., Php 1:23.
WE at Death leave one place to go to another: if godly, we depart from our place here on earth, and go to heaven; we depart from our friends on earth, and go to our friends in heaven; we depart from the valley of tears, and go to the mount of joy; we depart from, a howling wilderness, to go to an heavenly paradise. Who would be unwilling to exchange a Sodom for a Sion, an Egypt for a Canaan, misery for glory.
