It is our souls which are the everlastingness of God's purpose in this earth.
May we be satisfied with nothing that shall not have in it something of immortality.
Heaven begun is the living proof that makes the heaven to come credible. Christ in you is "the hope of glory." It is the eagle eye of faith which penetrates the grave, and sees far into the tranquil things of death. He alone can believe in immortality who feels the resurrection in him already.
The nearer I approach the end, the plainer I hear around me the immortal symphonies of the worlds which invite me. It is marvelous, yet simple.
No martyr ever went the way of duty, and felt the shadow of death upon it. The shadow of death is darkest in the valley, which men walk in easily, and is never felt at all on a steep place, like Calvary. Truth is everlasting, and so is every lover of it; and so he feels himself almost always.
Let a disciple live as Christ lived, and he will easily believe in living again as Christ does.
IMPENITENT.
It is not sin that kills the soul, but impenitence.
