Can these bribe death?

[Fragrant Grace]

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in Thy presence is fulness of joy; at Thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Psalm 16:11

The pride of title and the pride of riches
Hereditary rank--high-sounding names
Barns filled to repletion--piles of hoarded gold
These are the world's coveted possessions!

But pause and ask:
Will these bribe death?
Will these arrest the winged arrow in its flight?
Will these ferry a man easier across Jordan?
No!
The monarch and the slave;
The king and the peasant;
The millionaire and the beggar
--are the same at last!

But, here is a glorious title--enduring riches which death cannot rob, and the grave cannot spoil,
"Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is!"
1 John 3:2
