Many people are sharing amusing video clips during these difficult days, and I have enjoyed watching some of them. However, this clip is not intended to amuse, but to cause us to think!
Earlier this week, I learned of the death, from cancer, of Dominic Smart. I didn't know him well, having only met him once when he was the minister at Gilcomston South Church, in Aberdeen. However, in even that brief encounter, I was impressed by, not only his preaching, but his whole demeanour.
This clip - under 20 mins - is of an interview he gave just a couple of months ago. As so many are concerned, because of the Covid-19 situation, about death, it is good to hear how a true disciple of Jesus faces that inevitable event. On my bookshelves is a short book by another minister whom I met only once. It's titled "Death with a steady eye", and deals with how some face death without flinching. Dominic Smart shows that he was able to do exactly that. I highly recommend this clip to you.
