Dying Well and Living Well

On Ash Wednesday, I preached on mortality.

If I were to re-use that material, I might also include this:

A physician to Charles Wesley who had watched a number of the Methodists die triumphantly said: "Most people die for fear of dying; but, I never met with people such as yours. They are none of them afraid of death, but are calm, and patient, and resigned to the last." This led John Wesley to say: "Our people die well."

What would it mean to die well?

How might be we die well?

And how might we live so as to die well? If we are ready to die well, will it lead us to live well?
