  "Death has been swallowed up in victory!" 1 Cor. 15:54<br>
  <br>
  DEATH is <strong>an outlet and an inlet</strong> to a holy man. <br>
  <br>
  Death is an eternal <strong>outlet</strong> . . . <br>
  to all sins,<br>
  to all sorrows,<br>
  to all shame,<br>
  to all sufferings,<br>
  to all afflictions,<br>
  to all temptations,<br>
  to all oppressions,<br>
  to all confusions, and<br>
  to all vexations. <br>
  <br>
  Death is an eternal <strong>inlet</strong> into . . .<br>
  the clear, full, and constant enjoyment of God,<br>
  the sweetest pleasures,<br>
  the purest joys,<br>
  the highest delights,<br>
  the strongest comforts, and<br>
  the most satisfying contentments. <br>
  <br>
  Death is the <em>funeral </em>of all a holy man's sins and miseries — and <br>
  the <em>perfection </em>of all his joys, graces, and spiritual excellencies. <br>
  <br>
  Death is not the death of the <em>man</em> — but the death of his <em>sin.</em><br>
  <br>
  Death is a Christian's discharge from all trouble and misery!<br>
  <br>
  Death came in by sin — and sin goes out by death. <br>
  <br>
  Death cures all diseases — the aching head and the unbelieving <br>
  heart; the diseased body and the defiled soul. Death will cure <br>
  the holy man of all natural and spiritual distempers.<br>
  <br>
  Death is God's gentle usher to conduct us to heaven.<br>
  <br>
  Death to a holy man, is nothing but the changing of . . .<br>
  his <em>grace — </em>into glory,<br>
  his <em>faith — </em>into vision,<br>
  his <em>hope — </em>into fruition, and<br>
  his <em>love — </em>into eternal rapture!<br>
  <br>
  Oh, who would not go through death . . .<br>
  to heaven! <br>
  to eternal life!<br>
  to immortality and glory! <br>
  <br>
  Death, to a Christian, is . . .<br>
  a welcome guest,<br>
  a happy friend,<br>
  a joyful messenger!<br>
