Where did I come from? Why am I here? Where am I going?
This video is a great telling of the gospel as it deals with the "big questions." It's also available in various languages. Normally I wouldn't just re-post stuff like this (that's what Facebook or Tumblr is for), but I wanted to share this in a little more permanent way and maybe toss in a comment or two.
A minor note, but on a close listening, the "big questions" headers don't actually quite correspond
with the content under each one. Things about our purpose in life are raised
under the "Where did I come from?" question, rather than "Why am I
here?" Also, the Japanese version is several minutes longer than the English version, so that may turn off a few of our more attention-challenged folks if you are sharing this video on the fly.
Regardless, I really like the word-picture of rotten rungs on a ladder as an apt description of how foolish it is to think of reaching heaven by a ladder. Particularly effective is the image of a cloud above the person to symbolize the separation between them and God. Works well with the word-picture of a black/dirty heart vs. how God and His Heaven are clean/pure.
And they managed to squeeze in a lot of Scripture - John 3:19; John 14:6; John 3:16; John 3:36; John 1:29; John 1:12; and John 6:37. Kudos.
