The quotes in “The Best of Harvest Home” are not necessarily the best Spurgeon quotes on death and dying, but as I compiled the quotes for the Harvest Home series, these are the ones that resonated the most with me. The Harvest Home collection of quotes contains over 1100 Spurgeon quotes on death and dying. For those that find that overwhelming, I hope this small volume will be sufficient in giving you a taste of Spurgeon’s views on the subject.

Why do I have an empty grave in my yard? It’s a reminder that life is finite. When I sit by my grave, I can surrender my life and embrace the life Jesus offers. A Christian’s life is best lived dead. Dead to your own desires. Dead to your frustration and bitterness. Dead to the world, but alive in Jesus.
