I prefer death in Christ Jesus to power over the farthest limits of the earth. He who died in place of us is the one object of my quest. He who rose for our sakes is my one desire.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I would rather die and come to Jesus Christ than be king over the entire earth. Him I seek who died for us; Him I love who rose again because of us.
Death is the wish of some, the relief of many, and the end of all.
I would rather die than do something which I know to be a sin, or to be against God's will.
Death is the great hope of all life; the desire to expend itself; to be used and consumed by its own longing for itself.
For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.
I would rather live and love where death is king than have eternal life where love is not.
Our faith is stronger than death, our philosophy is firmer than flesh, and the spread of the Kingdom of God upon the earth is more sublime and more compelling.
The desire to die was my one and only concern; to it I have sacrificed everything, even death.
It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action, we should remember our dying and try so to live that our death brings no pleasure on the world.
I like things that are just about to go. Everything's leaving. Death is never far away from me. When you make something, death can't help but be in it.
