“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints” – Psalm 116:15
Death is the one experience through which we all one day will pass. We may meet it with resignation, denial, or even without a moment’s thought – but it will come to us all.
But death for a Christian is distinctly different from what it is for someone who does not know the Lord. For us, it isn’t something to be feared or shunned, for we know death is but the shadowed threshold to the very throne of God. Is it no wonder Paul wrote – “I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better by far.” Philippians 1:23
There are times when God will give His departing saints glimpses of Heaven – I have seen peace just fill the eyes of someone in their last moments on this earth as the Lord comes to carry them home to be with Him.
Are you looking forward to that day when you will too go to be with Christ, “Which is better by far?”
