The shock upon entering heaven

I heard this poem quoted by Neil Vimalkumar of RZIM at the Keswick Convention in Kolkata in Feb 2010. The Author is unknown, the message is powerful....

I was shocked, confused, bewildered
as I entered Heaven's door,No
t by the beauty of it all,
by the lights or its decor.

But it was the folks in Heaven
who made me sputter and gasp--
the thieves, the liars, the sinners,
the alcoholics, the trash.

There stood the kid from seventh grade
who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor
who never said anything nice.

Herb, who I always thought
was rotting away in hell,
was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
looking incredibly well.

I nudged Jesus, "What's the deal?
I would love to hear Your take.
How'd all these sinners get up here?
God must've made a mistake.

And why's everyone so quiet, so somber?
"Give me a clue."
"Hush child," said He "They're all in shock.
No one thought they'd see you."
