Psalm 23:4 “I will fear no evil, for you are with me.”

Death is a king of terror, but not to the sheep of Christ. Death cannot separate us from the love of God, and therefore it can do us no real harm; it will kill the body, but cannot touch the soul. Spurgeon says, “What a bright light may shine within us when it is all dark without! How firm, how happy, how calm, how peaceful we may be, when the world shakes to and fro, and the pillars of the earth are removed! Even death itself, with all its terrible influences, has no power to suspend the music of a Christian’s heart, but rather makes that music become more sweet, more clear, more heavenly, until the last kind act which death can do is to let the earthly strain melt into heavenly chorus, the temporal joy into the eternal bliss! Let’s have confidence, then, in the blessed Spirit’s power to comfort us.” This lady had no fear in death. I thought of this song we just sang Sunday:
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
‘Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand
More to come…………
