I previously posted about the fact that President Bush is a Born Again Christian. This has always constituted my basis for believing in the ultimate authenticity, honesty, and integrity of our president. No one is perfect and Even Born Again Christains will often fall from grace, but will always return to the fold and never fail to get back on track with the Lord. However, all will be determined some day in a personal Judgment.
I would like to take this opportunity to share an experience my father had shortly before his death in 1985. It is similar to a song found on one of my newly purchased CDs by the, "Sons of Song".
One night, in a vision, Daddy said he saw Jesus. He could hardly speak for crying in trying to describe the loving warmth he felt encountering Jesus and His indescribable beauty. There was not a dry eye in that hospital room as he related this experience.
In Daddy's vision, he was walking down, "A wide road crowded with people running, rushing and crushing like cattle, headed for destruction". There was a division in the road up ahead with Some One sitting with a large Book in His hand. Daddy had no doubt the person sitting where the road split was Jesus. He was there judging the human race, looking for the names of those approaching. Scripture tells us that the instant a person accepts Christ as Savior their name is recorded in, "The Book of Life".
When trying to describe Jesus' personage, Daddy could only burst into tears, saying there was no possible way to describe Him or His brightness and beauty. My father, always the most stoic person I'd ever known, was never given to tears. As Daddy came closer to the fork in the road and approached Him, he said Jesus looked upon him with compassion, put His arm around his shoulder and placed him on the narrow road.
Robert L Clark, was a man of few words and not one given to much emotion. But his life was a sermon in so many ways. He honored truth and justice and had absolutely no tolerance for hypocrisy. I never once knew him to tell a falsehood or even garnish the truth. His employees and fellow workers in the earth moving business loved him dearly for his justice and good nature.
I am relating this now because, as I mentioned earlier, I received a Sons of Song music collection. One particular song in the collection, "Sorry, I Never Knew You" is also about a dream about the final Judgment. However, the dream in this song involves a more frightening element than in my Daddy's experience.
The Sons of Song, a trio of voices, like you will never hear again, have touched the world with their music.
