Near Death Experience

Reading of a new book today on near death experiences (Imagine Heaven, by John Burke), I was reminded of my own experience with people who have had near death experiences. Here is an example. A member of my Church, H suffered a brain haemorrhage. When I went to see him in hospital, he was lying on his back, and had a long, curved wound on his head -- a craniotomy. He said that he couldn’t see (he regained his sight in time). He was very excited. He said, “I met the Lord Jesus! I met Him! I met Him!” I said what do you mean, H? Was it a vision, or a dream? “No!” he said, “It was Him! I really met Him!” OBSERVATION: I became aware of such experiences early in my ministry, and have heard many more since.
