Capitolo 41
but these first words of the Psalm are true in my case, if "the God
it is my Shepherd", the whole rest of the Psalm is a record, a promise a
appointments, of past, present, and good future.
There are six things declared by Christ to be characteristic of the
relationship that his/her people and he think to each other as Shepherd and
the sheep:
1. "My sheep hears my voice;
2. And I know them;
3. And they follow me to them;
4. And I give to them the eternal life;
5. And they will never perish;
6. Neither some their tear out of my hand."
Here we find directions to the duty as promises of good future.
As it is more main point as us we live that as us we die, and since death
it is only the arrival at the end of a trip, the beginning, progress,
and history of the trip that determines what the arrival has to be us,
it will make well to dismiss our trouble taken in loan with respect to the way
of our departure out of the world, and it is only prompt with respect to
the I unload correct of the present duty. We read, "Precious in the sight of
the God is the death of his/her saints." The death of every the child of his
it is, with God, an object of inexpressible interest; its his/her own honor is
pertained to in him; its influence on survivors is of the great importance; it
it will be among the means from what it brings defeasible a lot of God, you/he/she can be
many, purposes of providence but especially of his/her grace. "No man
dieth to him." You interest Gran they are involved in his/her death, over
his/her his/her own personal welfare. Now, if we have lived for God, he will do
our death the object of his/her special care, and it will honor him from his
being the means to promote his/her glory. Instead, therefore, of dark
apprehensions as to dying, we should tenderly take care of the noble wish and we should aim that
Christ can be magnified in our body, if it is from life or from death.
If our life has been one walking with God, "You Art With me" it will be a
perfect guarantee, now and in death, "to Fear Anybody Bad."
