We need to live like we are on borrowed time: a September 11th pilot's testimony


For those of us who  have experienced tragedies life  takes on a different meaning. We are not the same people we were before the tragedy struck. Our life's purpose takes on a different perspective.

 This person you are about to watch was a long time employee of American Airlines.  He was originally assigned to fly American Airlines flight 11 out of Logan airport in Boston when a pilot of more seniority decided to bump him.  He was all packed and ready to take that flight when he checked his status and discovered a different pilot had been assigned in his place. He struggled with guilt because he knew it should have been him who should have died that day.  

He said there were two people who died for him that day. One was the pilot who took his seat in Flight 11 while the second person was Jesus Christ who hung on the cross and bled for him. He mentioned that years ago he wrote out his life's purpose and revealed those written words which was to make disciples and glorify God with his life so that one day he could stand before Christ and He would tell him "well done my good and faithful servant".  He said that he has an even more burning desire to see that happen after what happened on September 11th, 2001. May your faith be encouraged through this gripping faith testimony.
