During his heavenly encounter, Poirot saw his own face shine like Jesus’s. This experience dissolved his need for human approval—being fully accepted by Jesus means ridicule or rejection no longer registers. He compares this security to being on a championship team with a superstar like Michael Jordan: Every teammate’s ring carries the same weight as the stars.

Poirot admits that he once found it arrogant that the apostle John called himself the disciple Jesus “dearly loved,” but the encounter clarified it entirely. Jesus treated Poirot not as a burden or a number but as his prize. Poirot acknowledges that those who have endured rejection may struggle to accept this, and he counters the lie that God is too busy for any individual with several supporting scriptures.

Jesus then showed Poirot a “glimmer film”—a review of the difficult moments of his life—revealing that Jesus had been caring for him and working behind the scenes for his good throughout. What felt overwhelming to Poirot was effortless for Jesus. The experience left Poirot with the conviction that he was never designed to carry his own worries; he was made only to trust. He recalls Jesus’s direct instruction to let him handle everything and to entrust all concerns to him.
