On 13 January, Eric J. Alexander passed from this life into the nearer presence of the God he loved and served for over seventy years.
When Martyn Lloyd-Jones retired from Westminster Chapel in 1968, a church member said, ‘Doctor, you will surely miss preaching.’ The Doctor replied with, ‘I have never lived to preach.’ Such was Eric Alexander. Paul’s literal words in Philippians 1:21 were his life’s motto: ‘For me to live, Christ; to die, gain.’
