A Heart’s Cry
February 18th 2008 09:58 am
The naked reality of a guilty heart–amazingly and powerfully exposed in this clip from ER.
My question, directed specifically toward followers of Christ, is this: What does this say about our mission, about why we must do what we must do?
(I’ve opened up a discussion on a different question, for anybody to participate in, on my Thinking Christian blog. The clip is 2 minutes, 38 seconds long.)

This clip made me laugh in shock and gratitude for such a coherent description of what a person without salvation in Jesus Christ is facing. As followers of Jesus Christ, we must be prepared to address many topics (dramatized in this scene from ER). We must be willing and able to address and disprove relativism in all its forms, especially religious. We must be willing to boldly proclaim not only the reality of Jesus’ work on the Cross but the unpleasant reality of Hell. If there is no consequence for sin, then why did He suffer and die. Finally, we must be willing to defend the idea that sin is everyone’s problem, and that God, through his Son Jesus has offered a means of atonement that can save anyone.
