A man was seriously ill and insisted that the doctor tell him the facts in the case. He asked, "Doctor, will I improve for a brief time; and, if so, will I have another similar attack?" The doctor replied, "We hope you will improve, and then you may have another attack. But you must not worry, for we must all pass through the gate someday." Then the sick man sorrowfully said, "But, doctor, can you tell me what is beyond the gate? That is what is worrying me." The doctor could not answer that, but the Bible does. What is beyond the gate will depend on our relation to Christ and our spiritual condition. Death is an immediate entrance into one of the two worlds, heaven or hell. Paul said, "Absent from the body and .... present with the Lord." The rich man died, and his body was buried; immediately in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments. What would death mean to me just now?
