And what? Death came and laughed. “Come on,” he said, “put on your new shoes. The suit must be neat. After all, you’re going to a coffin, not to a tavern or a church.”
Well, this is where the question arose. Where does death call me? And what to do there in new shoes, where to go?
And I went looking for an answer. I surfed the internet, searching for wisdom and truth. I fell into the net.
But I managed to take one thought with me. For example, you need to study books. Theological ones. They say that all divine truth is hidden in them.
I began to read. Oh my goodness! I was so stuck! So stuck that I couldn’t move my legs. It’s not just a net anymore, it’s a swamp. The swamp of despair and the wandering of the mind.
But one thought gripped me. The gospel is true. Where did it come from. I don’t even know where it came from.
I rested a little. Thought. If I could not find the truth in the Internet, the ultramodern well of the abyss, I could not find any wise book in the sea of books, I would hardly find anything in an ancient little book.
As I took my last breath, I opened the gospel. I opened my eyes with my fingers, the eyelids itself did not want to move. I read: “I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me will live, even if he dies. And whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe that?” – I jumped up. It was what I had been looking for. I was looking for Life!
Here is the TRUTH. It is JESUS CHRIST! I even shouted, “I believe!” And my heart was full of joy and happiness.
And the depression was gone. It had just died.
