Randy Alcorn spoke to a group of middle school and high school students at Cornerstone youth group in Gresham, Oregon. He shares how ultimate happiness can only be found in Jesus, who calls us His friends. He and the students discuss Heaven, which is defined as where God’s throne is; and how one day Heaven and Earth will be reunited and Jesus will reign forever over a redeemed earth. Randy also answers many thoughtful questions from the students.

God can certainly do anything He wishes, including showing someone a glimpse of eternity. But it’s hard to evaluate because every experience is subjective, and obviously being in an accident is very traumatic for someone’s brain. 

Near-death experiences have become important because many people have developed a variety of conflicting views of death and eternity based on these incidents.
