Life Church | Salisbury NC Sermons

Pastor James continues our sermon series in the gospel of Mark looking at Mark 12:18-27.
“He who does not prepare for death is more than an ordinary fool. He is a madman.” - Charles Spurgeon

“The best moment of a Christian’s life is his last one, because it is the one that is nearest heaven.” - Charles Spurgeon

“Death is the funeral of all our sorrows.” - Thomas Watson

“Death is but a passage out of a prison into a palace.” - John Bunyan

“Death is not now the death of me, but death will be the death of my misery, the death of my sins; it will be the death of my corruptions. But death will be my birthday in regard of happiness.” - Richard Sibbes

“Let thy hope of heaven master thy fear of death. Why shouldest thou be afraid to die, who hopest to live by dying?” - William Gurnall

“Has this world been so kind to you that you would leave it with regret? If we really believe that home is elsewhere and that this life is a ‘wandering to find home,’ why should we not look forward to the arrival?” - C.S. Lewis

"We may positively state that nobody has made any progress in the school of Christ, unless he cheerfully looks forward towards the day of his death, and towards the day of the final resurrection.” - John Calvin

Mark 12:18-27

“If brothers dwell together, and one of them dies and has no son, the wife of the dead man shall not be married outside the family to a stranger. Her husband’s brother shall go in to her and take her as his wife and perform the duty of a husband’s brother to her. And the first son whom she bears shall succeed to the name of his dead brother, that his name may not be blotted out of Israel.” Deuteronomy 25:5-6

But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him…” 1 Corinthians 2:9
