DEATH

One of the finest passages in English poetry are the lines in Byron's "Cain" where he describes Cain standing over the body of the murdered Abel, astonished at death, then new in the world & now so old.

The old, old fashion -  and yet something which comes with new wonder & shock to the men of each new generation.

Death in some other city, or in some other house down the street, is one thing; but when death invades our own house & family we are forced to look on it with the same awe & surprise & wonder which Byron so splendidly imagines in the mind of Cain.

“Through the death of Christ on the cross making atonement for sin, we get a perfect standing before God. That is justification, and it puts us, in God's sight, back in Eden before sin entered. God looks upon us and treats us as if we had never sinned.” -  A.C. Dixon.

Lord Jesus said: “I am telling you the truth: whoever obeys my teaching will never die.” (Jn 8:51 GNT)

“When the time comes for you to die, you need not be afraid, because death cannot separate you from God's love.” -  Charles Spurgeon.
