Colton Burpo’s Descriptions of Heaven<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After four-year-old Colton Burpo mentioned to his dad that he had seen Jesus in Heaven, Pastor Todd Burpo<\/a> wanted descriptions of the Heaven Colton saw. Pastor Todd decided to question Colton again\u2014this time, with his wife Sonja there, too. He began by asking Colton what he\u2019d done in Heaven. Colton responded that he\u2019d done \u201chomework,\u201d and that Jesus had acted as his teacher. Moreover, there had been many other children in his heavenly \u201cclass.\u201d<\/strong> (Note: At the time, Colton was able to name many of the children he met in Heaven. However, by the time Todd started to write about Colton\u2019s experience, they\u2019d both forgotten the children\u2019s names.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, Todd asked for more descriptions of Heaven, like what the people in Heaven had looked like. Colton stated that almost everyone had wings that they used to fly around, although he admitted, with some annoyance, that his<\/em> wings had been very small. The only exception to this rule was Jesus, who didn\u2019t have wings but could still fly. <\/strong>Specifically, he could move up and down in the air like an elevator. In Todd\u2019s eyes, this matched the biblical description of Jesus flying up to Heaven during the Ascension. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colton also stated that everyone in Heaven had lights shining above their heads.<\/strong> Todd inferred that Colton was describing halos, which, he conceded, aren\u2019t mentioned in the Bible. However, the Bible does<\/em> mention dazzling light surrounding angels, so Todd believed Colton\u2019s description wasn\u2019t completely implausible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, Todd wanted to know how much time Colton had spent in Heaven. Colton responded that he\u2019d been there for a mere three minutes.<\/strong> Todd was baffled: Could so much really have happened to Colton in three minutes? However, he then remembered that Colton couldn\u2019t tell the time yet, so what he thought of as \u201cthree minutes\u201d may have been much longer. Likewise, the Bible implies that time doesn\u2019t necessarily work the same way in Heaven as it does on Earth: Three \u201cEarth\u201d minutes may have felt like hours in Heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd\u2019s Doubt: Did Colton \u201cDie\u201d?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During this conversation with Colton about the descriptions of Heaven, Todd contemplated a doubt he\u2019d been having about his son\u2019s claims. Todd believed that only people who\u2019ve died could go to Heaven. But according to Colton\u2019s medical records, he hadn\u2019t clinically \u201cdied\u201d during either of his surgeries\u2014<\/strong>so how could he have made it to Heaven? <\/strong>Was this proof that Colton\u2019s experience was<\/em> a dream, rather than a real event?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Todd questioned Colton about this issue, and Colton was adamant that he had<\/em> died\u2014just for a short while. However, Todd felt that Colton said that because he thought it was what should <\/em>have happened, not necessarily because it was the truth<\/em>. Colton had learned that only dead people made it to Heaven, so he assumed <\/em>that he had died, even though he hadn\u2019t. Todd\u2019s doubts remained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, Todd remembered various sections of the Bible in which people went to Heaven when alive.<\/strong> Most notably, in the book of Revelation, the apostle John described visiting Heaven during a period of exile. Perhaps Colton could<\/em> have visited Heaven while alive after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colton Shares Miscellaneous Descriptions of Heaven and Jesus<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From 2003 to 2004, Colton shared various other miscellaneous descriptions of Heaven, Jesus, and the afterlife:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • From late 2003 to early 2004, Colton occasionally gave more information about what Heaven looked like<\/strong>, notably stating that the gates to Heaven were gold and had pearls decorating them. Heaven itself was made from a \u201cshiny material,\u201d possibly gold or silver, and was full of beautiful foliage. <\/li>
  • On Good Friday in 2004, Colton revealed that Jesus told him that he died on the cross so that people could go to Heaven and meet God. <\/strong><\/li>
  • In late April 2004, Colton got in trouble for running out into the parking lot at a fast-food restaurant. Todd warned Colton that if he wasn\u2019t careful, he\u2019d get hit by a car and killed. Colton responded that this would be a good thing since he\u2019d get to go back to Heaven.<\/strong> <\/li>
  • In August 2004, Todd had to visit a dying man who\u2019d been a minister for most of his life. He took Colton with him and explained to his son that the man was preparing to go to Heaven. When they reached the dying man\u2019s house, Colton told the man that the first person he\u2019d see upon arrival in Heaven was Jesus.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    One night in fall 2004, Sonja encouraged Colton to pray for Todd to get lots of study time in preparation for his sermon that Sunday. In response, Colton stated that in the past, he\u2019d seen Jesus \u201cshoot power down\u201d to Todd when he spoke in church.<\/strong> When Todd asked Colton what this \u201cpower\u201d was, Colton replied that it was the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
