Death – What is on the other side?

I was away last week for my mother’s funeral so my work email has stacked up a bit.  While sorting through my email and trying to clean out some old stuff I came across the following story which someone had sent to me some time ago.  It made me think of the beautiful passage of comfort found in John 14 so I share it with you here.

~DEATH~

A sick man turned to his doctor as he was preparing to

Leave the examination room and said,

‘Doctor, I am afraid to die.

Tell me what lies on the other side.’

Very quietly, the doctor said, ‘I don’t know.’

‘You don’t know? You, a Christian man,

Do not know what is on the other side?’

The doctor was holding the handle of the door;

On the other side came a sound of scratching and whining,

And as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room

And leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.

Turning to the patient, the doctor said,

‘Did you notice my dog?

He’s never been in this room before.

He didn’t know what was inside.

He knew nothing except that his master was here,

And when the door opened, he sprang in without fear.

I know little of what is on the other side of death,

But I do know one thing…

I know my Master is there and that is enough.’
