Thomas Brooks emphasizes that death is the inevitable fate of all humanity, regardless of social status or wealth. He illustrates that death treats everyone equally, from the highest monarch to the lowest beggar, highlighting the futility of trying to escape its grasp. Brooks reminds us that no one can resist death, as it is a universal truth that we all must face. He references Ecclesiastes 8:8 and Hebrews 9:27 to underline the certainty of death and the subsequent judgment that follows. The sermon serves as a poignant reminder of our mortality and the importance of living with this reality in mind.
