Last Words of Whitefield

George Whitefield (1714-1770), who was probably one of the greatest evangelists in American history, is quoted as saying these words just before he went to be with the Lord:

"Lord Jesus, I am weary in Thy work, but not of Thy work. If I have not yet finished my course, let me go and speak for Thee once more in the fields, seal the truth, and come back home to die."

Even in death, this servant of God had a fervent desire to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. May we too finish our course with as much passion for preaching and teaching God's Word!

Soli Deo Gloria!
