    EPITAPH OF FAITH

    by Katherine Bevis

     

    A godly old man asked that on his tombstone be carved the legend--

     

    “The Inn of a Traveler

    on His Way

    to the

    New Jerusalem.”

     

    He looked on this life as a journey toward the heavenly city where REAL life would begin. Having set his course toward the full enjoyment of the presence of God, the grave became merely a stopping place on the way.

     

    In my Father’s house are many mansions:

    if it were not so, I would have told you.

    I go to prepare a place for you.

    John 14:2

    ~~~~~~~~~~

    Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come; ‘Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me Home. (John Newton)
