James Moffatt on Death


James Moffatt (1870-1944) was one of the greatest Bible translators of all time, but he also wrote these interesting words: Death is never the last word in the life of a righteous man. When a man leaves this world be he righteous or unrighteous he leaves something in the world. He may leave something that will grow and spread like a cancer or a poison, or he may leave something like the fragrance of perfume or a blossom of beauty that permeates the atmosphere with blessing. Man leaves, he’s either a Paul or a Nero. Dead men do tell tales.
