“The most heaven-like spots I have ever visited, have been certain rooms in which Christ's disciples were awaiting the summons of death. So far from being a "house of mourning," I have often found such a house to be a vestibule of glory.” Has BeensDeathCertainFoundHouseHeavenChristRoomsGlorySpotsMourningDisciple Author:Theodore L.

“Every day His servants are dying modestly and peacefully--not a word of victory on their lips; but Christ's deep triumph in their hearts--watching the slow progress of their own decay, and yet so far emancipated from personal anxiety that they are still able to think and plan for others, not knowing that they are doing any great thing. They die, and the world hears nothing of them; and yet theirs was the completest victory. They came to the battle field, the field to which they had been looking forward all their lives, and the enemy was not to be found. There was no foe to fight with.” ThinkingWorldHeartStillsAbleDeathDiesFightingFoundChristEnemyKnowingProgressPlansDyingFieldsVictoryBattleAnxietyLipsGreat ThingsTriumphServantDecayNot KnowingFoeLooking ForwardSlow Progress Book:Sermons Preached at Brighton Source: Sermons Preached at Brighton

In Jesus Christ it is fair and lovely, it is good and holy, it is the joy of saints.” DeathJoyJesusChristHolyJesus ChristFairsSaintTerrorLovely Author:Blaise Pascal
“Dying visions of angels and Christ and God and heaven are confined to credibly good men. Why do not bad men have such visions? They die of all sorts of diseases; they have nervous temperaments; they even have creeds and hopes about the future which they cling to with very great tenacity; why do not they rejoice in some such glorious illusions when they go out of the world?” MenWorldDeathDiesHeavenChristVisionDyingDiseaseIllusionAngelNervousGloriousGood ManRejoiceCreedsTemperamentConfinedTenacityBad Man Book:Ad Fidem; Or, Parish Evidences of the Bible Source: Ad Fidem; Or, Parish Evidences of the Bible
