John Newton prepares to die

From John Newton: from disgrace to Amazing Grace by Jonathan Aitken

What is death to a believer in Jesus! It is simply a ceasing to breathe. If we personify it, we may welcome it as a messenger sent to tell us that the days of our mourning are ended and to open to us the gate of everlasting life. The harbingers of death, sickness, pain and conflict are frequently formidable to the flesh but death itself is nothing but a deliverance from them all.
