Consolation in Life and Death, Derived from the Life of Christ / Being the substance of a sermon on the death of Mrs. Turner, preached at the Surrey Tabernacle, on Sunday evening, the 15th of August, 1824

A sermon reflects on the death of a devout member and uses biblical imagery to turn bereavement into instruction, urging mourners to heed affliction as a call to self-examination and faith. It traces death’s origin in sin yet emphasizes Christ’s victory, portraying death as a passage to a promised dwelling rather than final annihilation. The preacher comforts by depicting the soul–body union, the hope of resurrection, and death’s loss of sting for believers, concluding with an appeal to trust in the covenant mercy that guides the faithful through loss into eternal rest.
