A young boy’s claim that he visited heaven, interacted with Jesus and met long-deceased family members has both inspired the masses and been dismissed by critics. Regardless of the debate, Colton Burpo, now 14, believes his story is truly transforming lives.
Colton and his parents, Todd and Sonja Burpo, recently visited TheBlaze’s New York City newsroom to speak about their family’s triumphs and struggles, and “Heaven Is for Real,” the feature film about Colton’s story that opens nationwide Wednesday.
It’s been more than 10 years since Colton came perilously close to dying during emergency appendectomy surgery when he was 3 years old. Far from scarring him, he says he can embrace life to the fullest because he’s not afraid of what’s on the other side.

During this time of lent and now good Friday and the approach of Easter, our Lord has risen and spoke of heaven on the cross. For those who lack faith or don't believe in heaven, I pray for you since without faith in Christ or in Heaven, you have no future or reward to look forward to. Read John 3-16
ReplyDeleteHeaven is real! My prayer for all people is that they believe it and put their faith in Christ and his teachings. Don't let MAN and/or dogma lead you astray.
ReplyDeleteMy child had the same experience at 3 years of age. I know this to be truth. Peace and love to all this Easter.
