Hospice Care Without Truth | Episode 1
最温柔的安慰，可能是最残酷的谎言
The gentlest comfort may be the cruelest lie.
现在这个社会，有一种短视频特别容易感动人。
In today's society, one type of short video moves people very easily.
就是临终关怀。
That is hospice care.
护士握着老人的手，
A nurse holds an old person's hand,
家人围在病床边，
Family members stand around the hospital bed,
轻声告诉他说：
And say to him in a soft voice:
“不要害怕。”
"Do not be afraid."
“安心地走吧。”
"Go in peace."
“你这一生已经很圆满了。”
"Your life has been very complete."
“去了另一个世界，就再也没有痛苦了。”
"In the other world, there will be no more pain."
这样的短视频，有的播放量非常高。
Some of these short videos have very high views.
评论区里，都是感动、眼泪和赞美。
In the comment section, there are tears, touch, and praise everywhere.
看起来，多么有爱！
It looks so full of love!
多么温暖！
So warm!
多么有人性的光辉！
So full of human light!
但是，我想问一个问题：
But I want to ask one question:
你怎么知道，他死后一定会更好？
How do you know that he will be better after death?
你去过那个世界吗？
Have you been to that world?
你能保证他不会面对什么吗？
Can you guarantee that he will not face anything?
如果根本不知道，凭什么告诉一个即将死去的人：
If you do not know at all, why do you tell a dying person:
“放心吧，一切都会好的！”
"Don't worry, everything will be fine!"
这到底是在安慰他，还是在给他画饼？
Is this really comforting him, or is it making empty promises?
我不是反对临终关怀。
I am not against hospice care.
减轻病人的痛苦，陪伴他走完最后一程，当然是值得尊重的事。
Easing a patient's pain and being with him in his last days is certainly something to respect.
但是，身体的痛苦减轻了，灵魂的问题呢？
But if the body's pain is eased, what about the soul's questions?
我们帮他调整枕头，给他止痛药，握着他的手，陪他说最后一句话。
We help him adjust the pillow, give him painkillers, hold his hand, and speak the last words with him.
然后呢？
And then?
死亡之后，究竟是什么？
What actually comes after death?
有一部流传了几千年的古老经卷，里面有一句非常严肃的话：
There is an ancient scripture passed down for thousands of years, with a very serious sentence:
“按着定命，人人都有一死，死后且有审判。”
"It is set for people to die once, and after that to face judgment."
如果这句话是真的，那么一个即将离开世界的人，最需要知道的，难道不应该是这个真相吗？
If this sentence is true, then shouldn't this truth be what a dying person needs to know most?
真正的爱，不应该只有温柔，还应该有诚实。
Real love should not only have gentleness, but also honesty.
因为没有真相的安慰，可能恰恰是最残酷的安慰。
Because comfort without truth may be the cruelest comfort.

去了更好的地方，谁给你的保证？
Who Promised You a Better Place?
一个人去世以后，我们经常听到这样的话：
After a person dies, we often hear words like this:
“他去了更好的地方。”
"He went to a better place."
“他终于解脱了。”
"He is finally free."
“他现在一定很幸福。”
"He must be very happy now."
“他已经变成天上的一颗星星了。”
"He has turned into a star in the sky."
听起来，多么温暖！
How warm this sounds!
但是，请问：这些话，有什么根据？
But please tell me: what is the proof for these words?
我们希望一个人死后幸福，和他死后真的幸福，这是两回事！
Our wish for someone to be happy after death and his actual happiness after death are two different things!
你希望一件事情是真的，不代表它就一定是真的。
Wishing something is true does not mean it is true.
如果一个人即将走上一条陌生的道路，而这条道路的尽头，可能有极大的危险。
If a person is about to walk on a strange road, and at the end of this road there may be great danger,
你会怎么做？
What would you do?
是告诉他：“放心吧，前面一定都是鲜花！”
Would you tell him: "Don't worry, there will be flowers all ahead!"
还是认真提醒他：“前面的路，你真的了解吗？”
Or would you warn him seriously: "Do you really know the road ahead?"
今天的人，在很多事情上非常讲究真实。
People today care a lot about facts in many things.
买一辆二手车，要查有没有事故。
When buying a used car, they check if it had accidents.
买一套房子，要查产权有没有问题。
When buying a house, they check if there are problems with ownership.
甚至买一个几十美元的东西，都要看看评价是真是假。
Even when buying something worth a few dollars, they check if the reviews are real or fake.
可是到了人生最重要的事情，死亡之后，我们究竟会面对什么？很多人却突然不讲真相了。
Yet when it comes to the most important thing in life—what we will face after death—many people suddenly stop caring about the truth.
只剩下一句：“放心吧，一切都会好的。”
They only leave one sentence: "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
这难道不奇怪吗？
Isn't this strange?
按照古老的基督教信仰，死亡并不意味着一切问题自动解决。
According to ancient Christian faith, death does not mean all problems are solved automatically.
人死以后，仍然要面对那位公义的创造主。
After death, a person still has to face the righteous Creator.
一个人是否得着永恒的生命，也不是由亲友几句美好的祝愿决定的。
Whether a person gets eternal life is not decided by a few good wishes from family and friends.
所以，我并不是说，我们不应该安慰失去亲人的家庭。
So, I am not saying that we should not comfort families who lost loved ones.
恰恰相反。
On the contrary.
我们应该陪伴他们，关心他们，与哀哭的人一同哀哭。
We should stay with them, care for them, and cry with those who cry.
但我们不应该把自己不知道的事情，说得好像已经完全确定。
But we should not talk about things we do not know as if they are completely sure.
真正的盼望，不应该建立在美好的想象上，而应该建立在可靠的真理上。
True hope should not be built on nice dreams, but on reliable truth.

死亡真正可怕的，到底是什么？
What Is Really Scary About Death?
人为什么害怕死亡？
Why are people afraid of death?
有人说，因为怕疼。
Some say it is because they fear pain.
有人说，因为舍不得亲人。
Some say it is because they hate to leave family.
也有人说，因为还没有享受够这个世界。
Others say it is because they have not enjoyed the world enough.
这些当然都是原因。
These are all reasons, of course.
所以，现代的临终关怀，非常重视减轻疼痛，照顾情绪，让人有尊严地离开。
So modern hospice care pays much attention to easing pain, caring for emotions, and letting people leave with dignity.
这些都很好。
These are all very good.
但是，我想问：如果一个人临终时，完全没有疼痛，是不是就意味着，死亡已经没有什么可怕的了？
But I want to ask: if a person feels no pain before dying, does that mean death is no longer scary?
当然不是！
Of course not!
因为身体上的疼痛，和死亡本身，根本不是一回事。
Because physical pain and death itself are not the same thing at all.
想象一下：一个人坐在法庭的被告席上。
Imagine a person sitting in court as the defendant.
法官还没有宣判。
The judge has not passed the sentence yet.
这时候，有人给他搬来一张舒服的椅子，递上一杯热茶，还放起了温柔的音乐。
At this time, someone brings him a comfortable chair, hands him a cup of hot tea, and plays soft music.
他确实舒服多了。
He does feel much more comfortable.
可是，请问：他的案件解决了吗？
But please ask: is his court case solved?
没有！
No!
同样的道理。
It is the same thing.
一个人临终时，身体可以很舒服，周围可以充满鲜花，家人可以非常温柔。
When a person is dying, his body can be comfortable, his room can be full of flowers, and his family can be very gentle.
但这并不能自动解决，他与创造主之间的问题。
But this cannot automatically solve his problem with the Creator.
有一部古老经卷告诉我们：人人人有一死，死后且有审判。
An ancient scripture tells us: everyone dies once, and after that comes judgment.
这意味着什么？
What does this mean?
按照基督教信仰，死亡真正严肃的地方，不仅是生命结束，更是人要面对至高者的公义审判。
According to Christian faith, the truly serious thing about death is not just the end of life, but that people must face the righteous judgment of the Most High.
一个人这一生，做过什么，说过什么，甚至心里想过什么，都不是毫无意义的。
What a person has done, said, or even thought in his heart in this life is not without meaning.
我们可能欺骗别人，甚至欺骗自己。
We may trick others or even trick ourselves.
但没有人能够欺骗那位完全公义的创造主。
But no one can trick the completely righteous Creator.
所以，人生最重要的问题，不仅仅是：我怎样才能活得舒服？
So, the most important question in life is not just: how can I live comfortably?
而是：当我站在至高者面前的时候，我凭什么能够站立得住？
Instead, it is: when I stand before the Most High, how can I stand firm?
请看下集：《好人死后，就一定有好结局吗？》

Hospice Care Without Truth | Episode 4
好人死后，就一定有好结局吗？
Does a Good Person Always Have a Good End After Death?
很多人在谈到死亡的时候，总喜欢说：
When talking about death, many people like to say:
“他是个好人。”
"He was a good person."
“他这一生帮助过很多人。”
"He helped many people in his life."
“他没有做过什么坏事。”
"He did not do bad things."
“这样的人，一定会有好结局。”
"A person like this will surely have a good end."
听起来，非常符合我们的感觉。
This sounds very right to our feelings.
但是，这里有一个问题：我们所说的好人，究竟是按照谁的标准？
But here is a question: by whose standard is this "good person"?
按照自己的标准？按照社会的标准？还是按照那位创造主的标准？
By our own standard? By society's standard? Or by the Creator's standard?
比如说，一个人一生做了很多好事，帮助过很多穷人，也捐过很多钱。
For example, a person did many good deeds, helped many poor people, and donated a lot of money.
但是，他同样说过谎，伤害过别人，心里充满过骄傲、嫉妒和自私。
But he also lied, hurt others, and had pride, envy, and selfishness in his heart.
那么，请问：他到底算不算一个好人？
Then, please tell me: is he really a good person?
如果一个人违反了法律，他能不能对法官说：
If a person breaks the law, can he say to the judge:
“虽然我犯过罪，但是我也做过很多好事，所以你就不应该审判我！”
"Although I broke the law, I also did many good things, so you should not judge me!"
当然不能！
Of course not!
做好事，不等于过去的过犯就自动消失。
Doing good deeds does not make past wrongdoings disappear automatically.
按照古老的基督教信仰，人最大的问题，不是好事做得不够多，而是没有一个人能够凭自己的善行，达到至高者完全公义的标准。
According to ancient Christian faith, man's biggest problem is not that he does not do enough good, but that no one can reach the Most High's perfect standard of righteousness by good deeds.
我们总觉得，自己比别人好一点，应该就没有问题。
We always feel that if we are a little better than others, we should be fine.
但至高者的公义，并不是人与人之间的比较。
But the righteousness of the Most High is not a comparison between humans.
这就带来一个非常严肃的问题：如果人都有过犯，而创造主又是完全公义的，那么，谁能够通过最终的审判？
This brings a very serious question: if everyone has wrongdoings and the Creator is completely righteous, who can pass the final judgment?
难道所有人，最后都只能面对定罪吗？
Must everyone face punishment in the end?
不是！
No!
古老的基督教信仰，还有一个极其重要的信息。
Ancient Christian faith has another very important message.
就是：人不能靠自己解决罪的问题，但创造主亲自为人预备了救赎之路。
That is: humans cannot solve the problem of sin by themselves, but the Creator himself prepared a path of salvation for humans.
这才是真正的盼望。
This is true hope.
请看下集：《一个将死的人，最需要听见什么？》

Hospice Care Without Truth | Episode 5
一个将死的人，最需要听见什么？
What Does a Dying Person Need to Hear Most?
如果你知道，一个人只剩下最后几天的生命。你会对他说什么？
If you know that a person only has a few days left to live, what would you say to him?
“你这一生已经很精彩了。”
"Your life has been very wonderful."
“不要想太多。”
"Do not think too much."
“安心走吧。”
"Go in peace."
这些话，可能让他感到温暖。
These words may make him feel warm.
但是，如果你真的相信，死亡之后还有永恒，那么，你难道不应该告诉他，比这些更重要的事情吗？
But if you truly believe that there is eternity after death, shouldn't you tell him things more important than these?
我们已经讲过：人人人有一死，死后且有审判。
We have already talked about this: everyone dies once, and after that comes judgment.
我们也讲过：人不能依靠自己的善行，解决罪与审判的问题。
We also talked about this: humans cannot rely on good deeds to solve the problem of sin and judgment.
那么，出路到底在哪里？
So, where is the way out?
按照古老的基督教信仰，那位创造主，并没有任凭人绝望。
According to ancient Christian faith, the Creator did not leave people in despair.
他亲自预备了一位救主。
He himself prepared a Savior.
这位救主，进入人类的历史，成为真正的人。
This Savior entered human history and became a real human being.
他没有犯罪，却承担罪人应受的刑罚。
He did not sin, but he took the punishment that sinners deserved.
他经历死亡，又从死亡中复活。
He went through death and rose again from death.
为什么？
Why?
因为人无法靠自己偿还的罪债，需要一位真正无罪的救赎者来承担。
Because the debt of sin that humans cannot pay by themselves needs a truly sinless Savior to pay.
这就是基督教所宣讲的，那条救赎之路。
This is the way of salvation that Christianity teaches.
所以，一个即将离开世界的人，最需要的，不仅仅是一张舒服的病床。
So, what a dying person needs most is not just a comfortable hospital bed.
不仅仅是止痛药，鲜花和陪伴。
It is not just painkillers, flowers, and companionship.
他更需要知道：自己怎样才能与创造主和好，怎样才能得到真正的赦免，怎样才能拥有超越死亡的盼望。
He needs even more to know: how he can make peace with the Creator, how he can get true forgiveness, and how he can have hope beyond death.
当然，我们应该尊重病人，关心他的身体，倾听他的心声。
Of course, we should respect the patient, care for his body, and listen to his heart.
分享信仰，也应该出于爱和诚实，而不是恐吓或者强迫。
Sharing faith should also come from love and honesty, not from fear or force.
但如果因为害怕谈论死亡，我们就把永恒的问题完全隐藏起来，那么，我们所提供的，究竟是完整的关怀，还是只有今生的关怀？
But if we hide eternal questions completely because we fear talking about death, then is what we offer a complete care, or care only for this life?
真正的临终关怀，不应该仅仅帮助一个人，舒服地走到生命的终点。
True hospice care should not only help a person reach the end of life comfortably.
还应该允许他认真思考：终点之后，究竟是什么？
It should also allow him to think seriously: what is actually after the end?
因为真正的爱，不仅关心一个人的今天。
Because true love not only cares about a person's today.
也关心他的永恒。
It also cares about his eternity.
