The Death of the
Godly and the Ungodly
There is an essential difference between the
decease of the godly and the death of the ungodly. Death comes
to the ungodly man as a penal infliction, but to the righteous
as a summons to his Father's palace. To the sinner it is an
execution, to the saint an undressing from his sins and
infirmities. Death to the wicked is the King of terrors. Death
to the saint is the end of terrors, the commencement of glory.
