I love that scene in The Pilgrim's Progress where Christian and Hopeful come to the final river of death. They are fearful that the water will be over their heads. But Hopeful goes first and calls back to Christian, “Be of good cheer, my brother; I feel the bottom, and it is good.”

For every Christian, the bottom is good because of the Word of Christ Jesus our Savior, who has promised that He will take us to be with Him in Heaven (John 14:3). When you face death, trust in His promise to bring you safely to the other side because you can "feel the bottom.....and it is good!
