How bright are the closing moments of life to many of those who know the Saviour.
An old Scotch minister, when dying, said to those watching at his bedside, “Fellow passengers to glory! How far am I from New Jerusalem?”
“Almost at the gate,” they replied, and he passed inside.
When a Christian man named Grimshaw was dying, his friends asked him how he felt in the presence of death. He replied: “As happy as I can be on earth, and as sure of glory as if I were in it. I shall step out of this bed into heaven.”
“It’s all peace, peace, peace,” said another.
