Many medical professionals regularly find themselves around people only hours or minutes from hell. How would love call us to act in those moments? Today’s question is a follow-up. It comes from a listener named Michelle, in Wisconsin. “Hello, Pastor John, thank you for addressing a wide range of topics on this podcast,” she writes. “Your recent episode APJ 1605 was of particular interest to me: ‘How Can I Serve the Dying?’ I am a hospital nurse, and served as an oncology nurse for three years, in which I cared for many people in their final days and hours. I no longer work in oncology but do occasionally see patients who are near the end of life. “In episode 1605 you assumed the dying were believers and talked about the fight of faith. But in my experience, very few dying patients are clearly believers. In that light, I battled intense anxiety knowing that I was likely the last Christian they would ever come into contact with on this side of eternity, hours or minutes from an eternal hell. This raised all sorts of questions for me. Do I share the gospel, even if the patient is unconscious? Do I offend family members in their saddest moment? How do I care for a lost person on the brink of hell, especially when their abilities to understand the gospel and respond in faith may be limited, and when the timing will likely feel inappropriate to the family? What would you say in this situation?” Read or listen to this interview at our website: https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/how-do-i-serve-dying-unbelievers Find other recent and popular Ask Pastor John episodes: https://www.desiringgod.org/ask-pastor-john
