Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.

Ps 116:15

“Though the grace of faith is of universal usethroughout the Christian’s life, yet it is especially so when we come to die. Faith has its great work to do at the very last, to help believers to finish well, to die to the Lord so as to honor Him, by patience, hope and joy so as to leave a witness behind them of the truth of God’s Word and the excellency of His ways.

Matthew Henry (1662-1714) – Pastor, Commentator
