“ Thank you Pastor Hamilton ” DEATH PREFERABLE TO RAPTURE
I hear some brethren rejoicing that perhaps the Lord will come, and that therefore they
will not die. I would sooner die, had I my choice. I see no comfort in the hope of not dying.
“They that are alive and remain shall not prevent them that are asleep”; they shall not have
preference over them that die. And indeed it is written, “The dead in Christ shall rise first:
then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to
meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” So that kind of priority is
even allotted to the dead in Christ. If I die not, I shall have lost what thousands will have
who die, namely, actual fellowship with Christ in the grave. Let me have it, let me have it
my Lord. Let me wear the clay cold shape of death that once was Thine, and sleep within
the sepulchre as Thou didst. To die and rise again, and be with Thee forever, is to complete
the circle of the perfect. Those who think that to be alive when He cometh will be so great
a glory, will perhaps find it no such great thing compared with death and resurrection, in
the likeness of the Lord Jesus (Spurgeon).C. H. Spurgeon(1834-1892).
