There’s a story told that might help us, about a man of faith who was dying and who asked his Christian doctor to tell him about heaven. As the doctor fumbled for a reply, he heard a scratching at the door… and he had his answer. “Do you hear that?” he asked his patient. “It’s my dog. I left him downstairs, but he has grown impatient, and has come up and he hears my voice. He has no notion what is inside this door… but he knows that I am here.” And that’s the same for all of us: We don’t know exactly what lies beyond the Door, but we do know that Jesus is there.
