("A Believer's Last Day, His Best Day")

"When calamity comes, the wicked are brought down, but

even in death the righteous have a refuge!" Prov. 14:32

We should lament over that dead man or dead woman . . .

whom hell harbors,

whom the devil devours,

whom divine justice torments!

But let rejoice over those departed believers whom

Christ embosoms, and whom all the court of heaven

comes forth to welcome!

"Let me die the death of the righteous, and

may my end be like theirs!" Numbers 23:10

"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death

of His saints!" Psalm 116:15
