Gardiner Spring, a nineteenth-century American minister, did not shy away from preaching on hard topics. In this message, he takes on the inevitability of death, but he pairs it with the Christian assurance of eternal life. "Death is the foe of man," he says, "but it is the glory of the Gospel that it teaches us how we may meet this last enemy with triumph." As a former lawyer, Spring presents compelling sermons rich with Scriptural analysis—"Death and Heaven" is no exception.
