DEATH,

“A Thing to be Greatly Longed For.”

A SERMON PREACHED BY THE REY. W. B KING, M. A, ON ALL SAINTS DAY,— Nov. Ist, 1885,

(Published by Request.)

‘* Jesus Christ who hath destroyed death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel.”—II Tim. 1.-10.

Words lose force in our minds when we hear them very often; and I cannot help thinking that most of us do not now per- ceive the extreme boldness in those I have just quoted. Jesus Christ who hath de- stroyed death! Think a moment over those words, and you will find them very forcible, very bold, very strong, very, very deep in meaning. They are so bold, so strong, that after the lapse of twenty cen- turies, Christians are scarcely able to grasp their significanes yet—so forcible, so deep, that we who have been taught the Christian faith irom our childhood are siill unable, for the most part, to conceive that they mean exactly what they say. We believe in Jesus Christ; we believe that He became Incarnate ; we believe that He died on the Cross ; we believe that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day from the dead. All this we steadfastly believe; and we try to drink in every drop of comfort from it. But I think it is true that in the main we do not believe that He has

DESTROYED DEATH,

that He has practically taken the sting from death and from the grave its victory, that He has really fulfilled His own words when He said, ‘‘Whosoever liveth and be- heveth in me shall never die.” Our Chris- tianity to surmounts many difficulties; but it seems to stop short there. Our faith triumphs over many things that are hard to be convineed of, but it seems to half fail us there. Death, to the great majority of Christians, is still the one great evil, still the one awful fact that has to be faced, still the one great dread that is always hanging above us, still the one fearful goal that we ali discern in the distance before us, Tothe mejority of us death is this ; but, oh, my brothers, this is not the Chris- tians idea of death !

THIS IS HEATHENISM.

ltis lower thao an enlightened heathenism. Pilato, who never heard of Christ, could look forward to death es the greatest pos- sible good to man, while we who know what Plato never knew,are filled with a foar and a shrixkiag at the thought of it, such as even he was free from. If there be truth in our religion, then it must follow that to bo with Christ must be far better. That itis far better, is a truth that we seldom grasp with such a firmness that it becomes a source of much practical comfort tous. I do not wish for one instant to suggest the thought that death is not a very solemn thing. It is a solemn thing— quite as solemn as iffe. In many respects

IT IS A VERY AWFUL THING ;

quite as ewiuvl a_ thing as life,

But at the same time I most unhesitatingly efirm that it is a very lovely thing, and a thing to be greatly longed for. It is the last earthly blessing thas our Father gives; and, my brethren, to those who have learnt to know who and what that Father is, it is the best blessing. There is nothing to shrink from in it, no'hing to dread, no- thing to dislike, wheon—but only when—we have once grasped that knowledge of God, and of life and immo-tality that Christ hes brought to light through the gospel. Then we see that Christ has really destroy- ed death; then what we now call Geath, becomes to us only the bursting into real life ; then that to which we once turned only with terror, becomes a thing to be de- sired with all the yearning that our hearts can feel. Death, my brethren, is the most beautifal change that can come in any human life, unless—and this is very likely

possible as our immortal lives flow on. WE DO NOT GRASP THIS TRUTH,

faintly; to be free from the slow n>tions, the weak powers and the debas- ing desires that are inherent in a body made of flesh; and to have all the quickened faculties, all the increased life, all the higher knowledge that can only come in the revealing of the glory of God. There is what Christ meant by death—-not an ending, not a breaking in two; but a development, a higher stage, and

A CONTINUATION OF LIFE,

Do we not see, then, that in Cirist a man cannot die? That which looks to us like an end of all practical interests and all practical works is really only the beginning of them, an opening up of new views and new fields of knowledge, such as are not possible to a soul hedged in by seuses. Death is not the end of life, it is only the beginning. Ah, yes; we may agree to that, and yet all the same our tendency will be to shrink from it, to be afraid of it, and to desire to remain here at any cost. And this feeling rises simply from dwelling too much on the importance of our present life. On this we dwell so much that it seems to us to be all our life. But, my brethren, when we think of eternity—when we think of its being an unending life, that is to go on age after age, age after age, till the human minds cannot conceive its per- fect endlessness ; when we think of our lives going on immortally like that, doesn't it make the eighty or ninety short years that we are to pass in this stage seem a very little, a very insignificant part of that taconceivable length. By dwelling on our present life we make it seem more impor- tant than it really is, and we acquire an exaggerated notion of both its happiness and its pain. My brothers, it really is

OF LITTLE CONSEQUENCE

whether we are very happy or not in so short a life as this. We fancy it is a matter of consequence only because we live too much in the present moment, the present week, or the present year, and lose the sense of their proportion in the great length of eternity. Look back at genera- tions gone by, and both their joys and their sorrows seem simall things now, because those who felt them have long ago passed ont of both in other stages in which they are living now. And so would it seem with our joys and our sorrows, if we could only behold them in their proper pro- portion to the eternity of our lives. Both the gladness and mourning of this stage are to last for such a very short time that we should endeavour to lay only the proper stress on them. Let us keep our eyes fixed upen etervity,and we shal! find less to trouble usin time. Let us think of death not as an end, but as the beginning of real life,and we shall look forward toit with con- tentment instead of dread. To depart and be with Christ—let that thought eat its way into your heart, and become a portion of your most personal belief, and you will gradually come to the knowledge of the loveliness of death, and be able to think of it as the opening of the doors between a life of blindness and darkness,and a life of sight and light—ae the awakeuing from a life of Greams into a life of

TRUE ANI]) UNCHANGING REALITIES,

But at this time, my _ brothers and sisters, we are thinking not so much of ourselves, and what

will at some time take place with us, as of those who have already been raised to that higher state for which we, as yet, are oniy preparing. To-day we are thinking chiefly of these—the happy dead; and it is in- evitable that our minds should be filled with sadnese—a sadness not for those whom we no longer sce, but for ourselves - and for this sadness there is but one comforting thought. My brothers, it is a common. place thought, a well-worn thought—but one which we can never, never put from us till we have sounded the most pregnant depths of its meaning.
