To Depart is to be with Christ
Philippians 1:23-24
For I am in a strait between two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:…


The Rev. Alexander Fisher, of Dunfermline, an excellent young minister, in the afternoon of the day on which he died, inquired what the hour was, and on being informed, said, "What would you think if I were in heaven tonight?" It was answered, "Then you will be with your Saviour, and see Him face to face." His pale emaciated countenance seemed to beam with delight, and his faltering lips uttered, "Glory, glory, glory!"
