John Henry Jowett preaches about the journey of old Mr. Honest as he
faced death, declaring 'Grace reigns!' as his final words, reflecting on
how grace guided him throughout his life's pilgrimage in Emmanuel's
land. Mr. Honest experienced grace in finding the way of life, being
delivered from dangers, receiving peace, refreshment, and inspiration,
and ultimately passing through death with 'grace abounding' into radiant
glories. Jowett emphasizes that in every faithful pilgrimage, the
decrees of sovereign love are evident, with 'Grace reigning' in every
aspect of life, from green pastures to rugged roads, from the day of
life to the passage through death.

ROMANS v. 12-21.

When old Mr. Honest came to the river, and he entered the cold waters of

death, the last words he was heard to utter by those who stood on the

shore were these:--"Grace reigns!" All through his pilgrimage old Mr.

Honest had been in Emmanuel's land where grace reigned night and day. It

was through grace that he had found the way of life. It was through
grace

that he had been delivered from the beasts and pitfalls of the road. It

was grace that had given him lilies of peace, and springs of
refreshment,

and the fine air that inspired him in difficult tasks. And in death he

still found "grace abounding," and the Lord of the changing road was
also

Lord of the dark waters through which he passed into the radiant glories

of the cloudless day.

In every yard of a faithful pilgrimage we shall find the decrees of

sovereign love. We are never in alien country. "Grace reigns" in every

hill and valley, through every green pasture and over every rugged road,

in every moment of "the day of life," and in the last sharp passage

through the transient night of death.
