If you were with someone who was about to die and they didn't have any faith and you had

one thing to say to them, what would you say to them? Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz and

this is Ascentra Presents. I've been thinking about this a lot. You know, it's so funny,

it made me think about how many times when I'm presenting Christianity, presenting the church

when I'm presenting Jesus, we talk about in when it's presenting Jesus, we talk about,

not just me, but we kind of, we talk about the gifts that having a relationship with Jesus

brings to your life, that there's, there's a freedom, there's an inner peace, there's meaning,

there's purpose, like there's all of these things, you faith, hope, and love, right? You have

those gifts that come by God's grace when we trust in Jesus.

We walk every day, get up, you can get out of bed every single day.

Again, with purpose, with meaning, with a mission.

You can live every single day knowing that, oh my gosh, the Lord is real.

He's here with me.

I know my identity in Christ and now

I can walk with more freedom. Like all those things are really, really good. But what if,

what if there's no, none of that? What if, what if there's no more life to be living? What if this

is the end of someone's life? And you get to tell them one last thing. I think I would be more

direct.

Because there's an urgency, right?

There's an urgency.

And so what I say?

Maybe something like this.
