The end of man is not death, for after death the judgment, but man seldom glances forward even to the first hour which must ensue after his spirit has left his body. How few can say what that hour will be to them. A thick darkness hangs over the last moments of their lives, a darkness thicker still over eternity.
But the Christian's joy is to look onward, and in the word of his God to behold what eternity will be for him.
