Shall I ever die? (G.V. Wigram)

Hebrews 9:27–28

Scriptures: Hebrew 9     Keywords: Death; Last words

Of believers, it is only those who have a special revelation that they will die, as Peter had had and Paul, who are justified in saying, “Certainly I shall die.” But I am only an ordinary Christian, and I do not pretend to be either a ... morePeter or a Paul, and I do not either pretend to have had any revelation direct from the Lord Himself to me about my own private self in particular, therefore I am obliged to be satisfied with the general light which God in His word gives to His family as such, that clear and broad light which shines upon the people of Christ as such.
