When I Die

When I Die

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” ~Ephesians 6:12

Who misses you when you die says a lot. But who rejoices says even more.

Post-publication note: Although the top quote is widely attributed to C.S. Lewis, one authority says he cannot find it in any of Lewis’s writings. Another source attributes it to the great missionary C.T. Studd, but I find no additional attributions to Studd or anyone other than Lewis, so I’ve let it stand. Certainly, both Lewis and Studd were worthy to have prayed it.

    Thanks for sharing, Mitch. I’m sure the Adversary was pleased when C.S. Lewis breathed his last… but the quotation was unfamiliar to me, and when I checked, I found this on a site devoted to validating Lewis quotations: https://www.essentialcslewis.com/2017/01/07/ccslq-31-hell-rejoices/

    God bless you on this holy (All Saints) Day.

    When I die, all I would want to hear is “Well done, my good and faithful servant” Matthew 25:23
