Hence the soul, resting upon Jesus, can and will look forward to the hour of death with perfect composure and serenity. It is but a valley, not a dwelling place, he hath to enter. And though he enters it, it is not to abide there. Moreover, it is not death, but the mere shadow of death, the true believer in Christ hath to pass through. The sting of death, which is sin, is taken out by the blood of Christ. The cause, which is to be brought before the Judge after death, hath been already before him, in which the accusations of the law, and Satan, and conscience, Jesus hath answered; and God hath declared himself to be well pleased. Hence, therefore, there is no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 8:1. So that death, and the valley of the shadow of death, have lost all their terrors to a true believer in Jesus, who is relying wholly upon the glorious person, and the finished and approved righteousness of the Mediator.
