A Glimpse Of Heaven

I remember from many years ago a man named Ben, who was rushed into emergency with symptoms of a heart attack.

The emergency room doctors immediately applied the paddles to his chest, struggling to keep him alive, but he was fighting them. They were trying to encourage him, saying, "C-mon, Ben you can make it!"

But he argued with them, "No, I don't want to."

After this happened a few times his heart began to stabilize. The team effort of the doctors saved him. Afterwards the doctors said to him, "Why were you fighting us so hard?"

He answered, "Because I was already seeing the colors of heaven. They were so beautiful, and I wanted to see more."

What glory awaits us throughout eternity... for those who know the Lord.

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
John 3:16 KJV
