death

One of the primary goals in life should be to prepare for death. Everything else should be secondary.

Many people say they do not fear death, but the process of dying. It__ not the destination, but the trip that they dread.

It is strange that men will prepare for everything except death. We prepare for education. We prepare for business. We prepare for our careers. We prepare for marriage. We prepare for old age. We prepare for everything except the moment we are to die.

Death of the righteous . . . is not to be feared or shunned. It is the shadowed threshold to the palace of God.

If people paid more attention to death, eternity, and judgment, there would be more holy living on earth.

The word departure literally means to pull up anchor and set sail. Everything that happens prior to death is a preparation for the final voyage. Death marks the beginning, not the end. It is our journey to God.

The word decease literally means __xodus_ or __oing out._ The imagery is that of the children of Israel leaving Egypt and their former life of bondage, slavery, and hardship for the Promised Land. So death to the Christian is an exodus from the limitations, the burdens, and the bondage of this life.

Death reduces all men to the same rank. It strips the rich of his millions and the poor man of his rags . . .Death knows no age limits, no partiality. It is a thing that all men fear.
