In spite of being deceased now for nearly a month (June 25) Michael Jackson’s death is still very much on many people’s minds. He is consistantly a top trending topic on Twitter, his albums are still selling like there’s no tomorrow, and on most TV stations, radio and Internet talk shows his name is always mentioned. Even magazines with his picture on the cover are selling faster than others. Whether negatively or positively portrayed, Michael Jackson is still being talked about.
Ray Comfort from the Way of the Master ministry uses Michael Jackson’s death to cleverly discuss one’s spiritual/physical life in general. He interviews several people near Michael Jackson’s star on Hollywood Boulevard asking them questions about MJ’s death, about life, God and more. The video ends with what Ray Comfort describes as the real reason that Michael Jackson died.
Some questions asked:
- Where is Michael now?
- Did his death remind you of your own mortality?
- Are you afraid of dying?
- What do you think happens after death?
- Are you going to heaven when you die?
- Where ARE you going when you die?
- Are you a good person?
- If God judges you by the Ten Commandments on the day of judgment, would be innocent or guilty?

Wow, what an incredible video by Ray Comfort. How saddened I am by all those who think they will end up in Heaven, but have no way to tell you WHY they think that. Because they’re good, I guess. How sad. May God bless Ray Comfort for all the work he’s doing, may God bless you for your posts and website spreading the Good News and may we all be more bold to express the Truth to the lost and dying.

I had to go to Tim’s site and let him know I posted this too!
If folks can only be honest with themselves as most were in that video, then they would have half a chance in knowing Christ.
I totally agree with you on that!
I saw this at Tim’s blog and i’m amazed that people stood around answering questions and talked.
We need more of this. I was happy to see people were willing to say: yes – I’ve lied, I’ve stolen, etc… I’m a sinner. that’s where all begins.
This is such a powerful video. I posted it on my ChristianInCollege.com site as well. You have to love Ray Comfort and his creativity to get the gospel message out.

I do I do I do love Ray Comfort’s creativity! I kind of ignored this video at first when I saw the title to it thinking it was just another MJ article/video but no, this was SO different and Christ honoring – God lifting and had to be shared with people.
I’m glad you agree that this is a MUST SEE video!
I like your blog and just added you to my “Faith Defenders” section. Great work you’re doing!
