PREPARATION FOR HEAVEN
HOW very confidently Paul contemplates the prospect of death! He betrays no trembling apprehensions.
With the calmness and serenity, not merely of resignation and submission, but of assurance and courage, he appears joyous and gladsome, and even charmed with the hope of having his body dissolved and being girt about with the new body which God has prepared
