Charles Spurgeon the great English Victorian preacher wrote of the death of Richard Baxter, the great Puritan preacher. Baxter lay dying. Some friends came to see him. They asked him what we all asked at times like that, “How are you doing?” Baxter was weak and obviously near death. But with great effort he answered. “I am almost well,.” He said. Spurgeon explains, “Death cures; it is the best medicine, for they who die are not only almost well, but healed forever. You will see, then, that the statement of our text implies that the aspect of death is altogether altered from that appearance in which men commonly behold it. Death to the saints is not a penalty, it is not destruction, it is not even a loss.”
