Boy Dies, Comes Back, Says Jesus Gave Him a Message for the World
When a young boy died in a car crash, he says he went to heaven. After being resuscitated, he came back with a message he says Jesus gave him to share with the world — and he wants everyone to hear it before it’s too late.
Landon Whitley was in the backseat, riding home from church with his mom and dad, on October 19, 1997, when tragedy struck “I didn’t see what he was yelling at. I didn’t see the ambulance coming, but I remember him yelling.
“Jesus came to me and told me that I have to go back to earth and be a good Christian and tell others about Him,” Landon shared. “I just want people to realize that Jesus is real, there is a heaven, there are angels. And to follow His word and the Bible, and life does get better at the end.”
Following the command Jesus gave him that day, Landon and Julie now use their experience to help others who are struggling with loss and are in need of hope. “I know I’m doing it for Jesus,” Landon added. “I know that He’s real. I know that angels are there. I know that there’s a heaven. I’ve seen Jesus. I know He’s there. He’s asked me to do this and this is what I’m doing.”
“I didn’t understand in 1997, you know, why God didn’t send an angel. But, I know that there were angels there. And, I know that we were protected and we are living out what His plan is for us,” Julie said. “Instead of staying stuck in grief or instead of staying mad at Him, I was able to use this story to help others not to give up and to keep their faith on their grief journey,” she continued. “It is a huge blessing that I get to watch my child tell others about Jesus,” Julie added. “He is always willing to let others know that there is a heaven. Cause he’s been there.”
