This sermon compares the death of a Christian to a ripe harvest ready to be gathered, showing that death is not something to fear but a natural and beautiful part of God’s plan. It teaches that while everyone must face death, believers can do so with peace, knowing it comes at the right time and leads them home to heaven. Like a farmer joyfully bringing in his ripe grain, God lovingly gathers His people when their time on earth is complete.
A sermon delivered by Charles Spurgeon on September 9, 1855.
