The Story

nde surgery very_positive Moderate Transformation 9/10 Intensity

The person was undergoing surgery when they experienced a near-death experience (NDE). They saw Jesus enter the room and took his hand. They found themselves on a hill surrounded by blinding white light and beautiful grass. They noticed a glowing ball sending out light beams. The scenery changed to a vibrant landscape with flowers and a distant city. Jesus told them it was the glory of the Lord, which overwhelmed them. They fell to their knees and then returned to the surgical room, where doctors were reviving them. After the NDE, the person felt a strong sense of peace and certainty about going to heaven, which transformed their outlook on life.

And I looked back at the light source still chokes me up. I tell the story
