Believers Kept Waiting Till Death that Men May Witness Their Piety
1 Thessalonians 1:7-10
So that you were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.…


Sometimes the sun seems to hang for a half hour in the horizon, only just to show how glorious it can be. The day is done; the fervour of the shining is over, and the sun hangs golden — nay, redder than gold — in the west, making everything look unspeakably beautiful, with the rich effulgence which it sheds on every side. So God seems to let some people, when their duty in this world is done, hang in the west, that men may look on them, and see how beautiful they are. There are some hanging in the west now!

(H. W. Beecher.)
