The
Other Door
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 of
which 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."
