Death and Dying (5)
  1. I found in Jonathan Edwards an unexpected voice articulating beautiful aspects of death through the lens of Christ.
  2. By death the Christian is brought to the actual possession of all his happiness, which is nothing other than Christ and all the benefits Christ has procured for His saints.
  3. One now finds Edwards frequently commenting on the beautiful things about nature, life, and Christ, and he also manifests a creative perception of beauty when considering the most morose of topics: Death.
  4. The good news is Christ Jesus is faithful to the end, even to the point of death and through death, with a steadfast and vocal faith in God our Savior for those who cannot do so in their lives any longer on account of their altered state.
  5. Faithful preachers should remain steadfast in the biblical categories and terminology and preach the reality of death.
