Many people profess to receive much comfort from the hope that they will
not die. Certainly there will be some who will be “alive and remain” at the
coming of the Lord, but is there so very much of advantage in such an escape
from death as to make it the object of Christian desire? Those who “shall be caught up together with the Lord in the air” will lose that actual fellowship with Christ in the tomb which dying
saints will have, and we are expressly told they shall have no preference
beyond those who are asleep. Let us be of Paul’s mind when he said that “To die is gain,” and
think of “departing to be with Christ, which is far better.” This psalm is as sweet in a believer’s ear now as it was in David’s
time.
