I just had coffee with a dear saint of our church. She described to me the story of how her husband passed from this life to the next. It was the most touching story I've heard of someone going into eternity. She described to Katina and I that at the moment he was taking his last few breaths, he told his daughter he was at the gates of heaven. He was worried how they would find each other there when she arrived. The daughter assured her father that they would be able to find one another. She went on to tell her father to go ahead into the gates and wait for her and mother to arrive.
He closed his eyes for a few moments then suddenly opened them back up. As he did he quickly turned to look at the door behind him. His eyes then turned slowly across the room as though he was watching someone. Then very calmly he sit back onto his pillow, folded his hands in front of him, closed his eyes and passed on to heaven.
I can't help but think this man was able to visibly see heaven and even more, to watch as the angels came to take him there.
This great women of God told me that now she isn't afraid to die. She told me that the Christian has nothing to fear in death, for its just a going home.
I wonder, are you confident that when you pass from this life that Heaven will be waiting on you? You can, by placing your faith in God's only Son. Jesus came that you may have eternal life through Him. I pray that you will make that decision today.
See you on the other side!
