| Michael Faraday — Part 3 |
| Speculations |
| “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21). |
| As we have noted this week, Michael Faraday was one of the most brilliant scientists of modern times. He was a pioneer in electrical discoveries, although he received practically no formal education. |
| Above all, he loved his Saviour and Lord. We are not surprised at the words he uttered with his dying breath: “I bow before Him who is Lord of all.” |
| He died on August 25, 1867. Just before his decease some journalists came to his bedside and questioned him as to his speculations for a life after death. “Speculations!” exclaimed Michael. “I know nothing of speculations. I’m resting on certainties. ‘I know that my Redeemer liveth,’ and because He lives, I shall live also.” |
| How wonderful it is for the believer to be able to rest on certainties. Like Paul, who said, “We know that … we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens” (2 Corinthians 5:1). Do you have this certainty? |
