Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The State of the Blessed Dead
Death from the mere moralist's point of View, as the termination of human schemes and hopes, we Christians have nothing to do. We are' believers in and servants of One who has in these senses abolished Death. Our schemes and hopes are not terminated by Death. But reach onward into a state beyond it.
Again, with that state beyond, except as one of blessedness purchased for us by the Son of God, I am not at present dealing. It is of those that die in the Lord alone that I speak.
And this being so, it is clear that the first point about them demanding our attention, is, the very commencement of their state at the moment of death. And this will form our subject to-day.
