01/09/10 Weekend Grif.Net – Death

[Thanks for the forward to Duane. Very appropriate illustration.]

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’re a Christian and don’t know what’s 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.’
