No Danger in Death for the Good
Hebrews 2:14
For as much then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same…


"I want to talk to you about heaven," said a dying parent to a member of his family; "we may not be spared to each other long; may we meet around the throne of glory, one family in heaven!" Overpowered at the thought, his beloved daughter exclaimed, "Surely you do not think there is any danger?" Calmly and beautifully he replied, "Danger! my darling. Oh! do not use that word. There can be no danger to the Christian, whatever may happen. All is right. All is well. God is love. All is well — everlastingly well — everlastingly well."

(J. Stevenson.)
