“Getting to See the Lord” by Doug Fincher

“…and we shall see His face…” Rev. 22:4

March 25, 2024 - I have a friend in Idaho named Ellen Rogers. She is a Conservative Christian who is talented far beyond what she'd ever admit. After teaching accounting at Lufkin’s Angelina College for several years, she and her husband Cliff retired to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. I talk to her often and we've been invited to visit their home. Reading her letters and talking to her has revealed how she feels about life’s great issues. But even though I've known her for many years, I've never seen Ellen... not even a picture of her. It will be a joy to see her some day.

I have a friend in Heaven who has matchless wisdom. He taught theology in the Holy Land three years and after dying for my sins, He arose from the grave and returned to His home in heaven. He has described His home to me and invited me to come live there. Even though I have never seen Him (or even a picture of Him) his letters and our talks have revealed His knowledge to me.

My heart will rejoice the day that I see Him face to face.


Thanks to Ellen Rogers for sending this photo to me after reading the story... I now know how she looks.
