  • People ask me questions about why is it important

  • to think about you know, when you die?

  • Especially when we're 20 and 30 and

  • 40, 50, 60, we, most of the time, we don't like to

  • think about that. We just know it's something that's out there.

  • But I,

  • I've been around a lot of death.

  • I've been in lines at airports in which the person

  • in front of me is dropped and I've given him

  • mouth-to-mouth to resuscitate him. I've gotten off buses and

  • there've been cars that have smashed in to everybody on the bus with bodies

  • everywhere. I've been on subways

  • that I'm walking up the stairs and people drop in front of me and I'm

  • trying to bring them back. And of course what you had in the

  • you know, when we were in the combat situation in Vietnam.

  • So I have experienced a lot

  • of different scenarios as it relates to this,

  • this question that what most of us don't really like to talk about but

  • we know that it's really out there.

  • I can make an observation,

  • I think especially with those that I was dialoguing

  • with before they came

  • to a point of breathing their last breath.

  • Just about every one of those

  • that I can remember - there were questions

  • probably in the last 60 seconds of our conversation or there were

  • screams or there was uncontrollable

  • pain in which young men

  • and other people, women, were calling out, "oh,

  • God, don't let me die.

  • God, don't let me die. Somebody help me. Somebody help me."

  • And so if we do believe in an infinite personal God, and

  • we do believe that he has a plan, then I don't think we're creatures

  • of chance - that there is destiny and that

  • we have a time on planet Earth, but there's also

  • an eternity that

  • we will experience. And so I,

  • I think everybody knows this at a deeper

  • level.

  • I found very few people that

  • don't believe that there's life after death - matter of fact, on

  • one of the big surveys that was taken both in England or America,

  • you know, they were asking all these different types of questions and

  • one of the questions - if you could ask God

  • any one question, what would it be? And of course there were a lot of answers that

  • were all over the place but the two most

  • were: number one, why am I here?

  • And the second one: what happens when I die? So we all think about it

  • and it's the subject that I think

  • really needs to be addressed in a loving, tender and

  • rational way. And as I look at the religions of the world,

  • Christianity really has the answer

  • that the person Jesus Christ and the context of the Resurrection -

  • that's life after death. It has been promised.

  • But I think we need to be more open just to have genuine dialogue as it

  • relates to this question.

  • What'd Jesus say? What'd Jesus claim?

  • Is it true? What's the evidence related to it?

  • Because I think it's something that all of us

  • at different times in our life really struggle with.
