Why did Colton's parents believe that he had actually been to heaven?
- He somehow knew that he had almost died, even though he had just come out of surgery.
- He knew that his dad’s grandpa was named “Pop,” even though he didn’t know that before.
- He knew about things Pop had done with Colton’s dad as a little boy.
- He somehow knew that his mom had a baby that had died in her tummy.
Does Colton’s experience prove that angels are real?
- No, it is not perfect proof. This story is amazing and convincing, yet God still requires us to have faith.
- Since God is love and love requires trust and faith, God stretches us to have faith and trust Him, so we can learn to really, really love well.
- Even so, we do know that angels are real for sure because Jesus said so!
