Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sermon, Preached Feb; 16, 1846, at the Funeral of Mrs. Mary L. Bennett, Wife of Rev. Joseph Bennett, of Woburn: Including a Journal of the Last Six Weeks of Her Life, Kept by Her Husband 2 Corinthians, v. 4. ... That Mortality Might Be Swallowed Up of Life. Love to the present life, is one of the strongest natural passions of the soul. Most persons desire to remain in the body, and involuntarily shrink from the last verge of human existence, and that eternity which borders on it. The reason is, a consciousness of guilt, and the fearful apprehensions of the future. Man, as unregenerate, has his portion in this world - his heart and hopes are here - and whatever be his philosophy, his intellectual and moral refinement, or his amiableness of character, when summoned away by death, he at best, but "takes a leap in the dark." No light from heaven irradiates the gloom of his pathway to another world, nor sheds one cheering ray into his dark grave. But not so with the Christian. United to Christ by faith, he regards the present state not as his home, nor as furnishing his chief good, but merely as preparatory to a pure and immortal existence. Grace removes the sting and fear of death, and he is ready, whenever it may be the will of God, to commit his body to a sanctified grave, and his soul to Him who has washed it from its sins in his own blood. So it was with Paul and his companions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
