The time has come for my departure!

(James Smith, “The Better Land”)

The time has come for my departure!ย I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day!” 2 Timothy 4:6-8ย 

Agedย believer, the time of yourย departureย will soon come! Do not let your mind be troubled as to . . .
ย ย whereย you shall die,
ย ย whenย you shall die,
ย  orย howย you shall die!
These are all minor matters โ€” and ought not to affect you.ย 

Simply look atย deathย as Jesus did: “Jesus knew that the time had come for Him to leave this world โ€” andย go to His Father!”ย John 13:1ย 

Why should you regret to leave a poor world like this โ€” where sin, sorrow, pain, grief, disappointment, and anxiety meet you at every turn? Why should you be reluctant to go HOME โ€” to go to your Father?ย 
Do you not want to see His face?ย 
Do you not want to enjoy His company?ย 
Do you not want to be perfectly happy in His presence?

I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far!” Philippians 1:23ย
