Welcoming Death
2 Timothy 4:6-8
For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.


Of Bradford it is said, that when the keeper's wife said to him, "Oh, sir, I am come with heavy tidings — you are to be burnt tomorrow"; taking off his hat and laying it upon the ground, and kneeling and raising his hands, he said, "Lord, I thank Thee for this honour. This is what I have been waiting for, and longing for."

(W. Jay.)
