It's been nearly 100 days since former Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. While he's never shied away from his disease being a death sentence, Sasse has been steadfast in his desire to be a bright spiritual light despite the unfathomable physical pain he endures on a daily basis.
Here are a couple of excerpts from a recent interview he granted NY Times columnist Ross Douthat.
Former Sen. Ben Sasse, who is facing terminal illness, opens up about how his faith in Jesus Christ is sustaining him during this difficult time:

When we humans think of our mortality, I would suspect the vast majority of us would, if given the choice, desire to pass away while sleeping as opposed to perpetual physical pain until our day of death approaches. But Sasse wasn't given that choice, yet he approaches the end of his time on Earth with joy, peace and humor. What a legacy.
