I came across Elwood McQuaid’s poem, Death Meets His Match, years ago. Didn’t know who he was, but loved the poem. I shared it at two different times in two different churches, the last time this past Easter Sunday (March 31st), as it is an excellent way to illustrate the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. A day or two later, my pastor stated he got an email indicating brother McQuaid had gone home to be with the Lord that day. I could just imagine his reception into glory, and Jesus telling him, “Brother, did you know that right now someone is sharing your poem in a little church in Chilliwack, BC, Canada? Well done, thou good and faithful servant.”
