“No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it.”

“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.”

“Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.”

“Death . . . is Life’s change agent.”

—Steve Jobs, Commencement Address at Stanford University (June 12, 2005)




Much will be said tonight and in the days ahead about this entrepreneurial genius. From a spiritual perspective, this much can be said with certainty: Steve Jobs, created in the image of God, was a remarkable example of God’s common grace in his aesthetics and creativity and productivity.
And we can all hope that in his final days, this recipient of so much common grace found rest in God’s sovereign saving grace.

I've never been much of a fan of Apple products, Macs in particular. But there's no denying Job' genius and how it influenced and changed the world.
 
I originally wanted to elaborate more on this matter, but now isn't the time. No one *really* knows except God, but he was a buddhist.

That's all for now. Just in case anyone didn't realize. So I'm not sure if that comment is really appropriate. But yeah, it's up to God to decide eh?

The Moment of Zen (last portion of the Daily Show) did a longer than average bit on Steve Jobs.

Here it is (don't worry... it's safe).
