The Shepherd of Death

"But it is the great problem, to begin with, to get mankind to realize

that each one is the subject of death,—that only death is that which belongs to us, as we came into the world, and as we are naturally in the world. 

If each person in the world would hold upon his heart, would hold in his very consciousness, the truth that death has hold on him,—that to death he is subject, as expressed in the Scripture, though not in our translation: “Death is their shepherd,”(Psalm 49:14) —that death is the watchman over all mankind,—that death is to each one as a shepherd herding his flock.

Consequently,

 when he became subject to death, by sin, 

we all became subject to death, because, 

being thus crippled, 

we all have sinned."
