The message of the Bible is that death does not end the existence of anyone, that every human being who has ever lived will live forever - either in hell or in heaven, either in eternal death or eternal life, either in everlasting suffering or everlasting joy - not merely as a disembodied spirit, but every person will live forever in bodily form. They will all be raised from the dead.
Heaven, How I Got Here (the book) was inspired by the story of the thief on the cross, found in chapter 23 of Luke’s Gospel. In writing the book, Pastor Colin tried to imagine the thief looking back on the last day of his life on earth from the perspective of his new life in heaven. The story weaves together what we know from the Bible about the events of that day and views them through the eyes of the thief as he would have experienced them at the time, and as he can understand them now. If Jesus could save the thief a few hours before he died, there is lasting hope in Jesus, even for a person coming to the end of his or her life.
