Be with Christ The Ultimate Desire And The Call To Depart
A pious meditation urges believers to prefer death to present life, arguing that to depart and be with the Lord is better. It contrasts the pleasures of worldly company with the joy of Christ, urging readiness for death, faith in the gospel, and a life aimed at heavenly union rather than earthly projects. The piece questions whether older and younger generations truly long for Christ, challenging readers to cultivate desire for departure and to resist fear of death.
