One step beyond the state of this mortality',

Back to John Flavel's "The Method of Grace"

---

Christ cures all outward troubles in His people by 
death, which is their removal from the place of 
sorrows—to peace and rest for evermore. Then 
God wipes all tears from their eyes, and the days 
of their mourning are at an end. They then put off 
the garments and spirit of mourning, and enter into 
peace. They come to that place and state where 
tears and sighs are unknown. 

One step beyond the state of this mortality 
brings us quite out of the sight and hearing of all 
troubles and lamentations.
