In this video, meet Marcelus Greenwood, a 52-year-old genomic researcher from Helensburg, Scotland, who experienced a life-altering near-death experience (NDE) that transformed his entire view of life and faith.

Before everything changed, Marcelus was living what he thought was his best life. He was a successful researcher at the University of Aberdeen, where he led groundbreaking work in genetic engineering. Marcelus and his partner, Damien, lived in a beautiful Edwardian house overlooking Loch Lomond, with plans to marry in the summer. As a scientist, he was proud of his rational, evidence-based approach to life. Religion wasn’t part of his worldview, and he dismissed the beliefs of others as primitive superstition. His parents had been nominal Christians, attending church only on holidays, but Marcelus had abandoned even that minimal observance when he left for college.

However, one fateful day, his life would be forever changed. While preparing for a major presentation on CRISPR gene editing, Marcelus encountered an unusual smell in the lab. It was acidic and chemical, but he ignored it, too absorbed in his research. The lab’s ventilation system had been acting up for weeks, but maintenance was constantly delayed. As he continued working with volatile compounds, he began feeling lightheaded. The room spun, but Marcelus chalked it up to lack of sleep and too much coffee. His first mistake was not evacuating immediately when the strange smell grew stronger, leading to a life-threatening situation.

In this video, Marcelus shares the powerful details of his near-death experience and how it opened his eyes to the truth about Heaven, Jesus, and the deeper meaning of life. His encounter with Jesus forever changed his perspective on science, faith, and reality, offering a powerful testimony of transformation and truth.
