Joshua's Dying Testimony to the Faithfulness of God
Joshua 23:14
And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and you know in all your hearts and in all your souls…


I. DEATH IS A WAY. It leads the believer from the means and streams of religious ordinances to the fountain-head of living waters; from the society of earthly, and at best imperfect connections, to the company of triumphant saints, &c.

II. Death is a way THAT ALL MUST GO. Some journeys may be deferred and postponed a week, a month, a year, and perhaps be wholly declined. But this cannot be put off or avoided.

III. Death is a way WHICH WE MAY SOON BE REQUIRED TO TAKE.

(Isaac Bachus, D. D.)
