"And he said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God." Acts 7:56
To Stephen the heavens were opened. To the other it was closed. Stephen alone could look around him and say "O death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting?" His walk of faith was over. He would soon die and it would all be gain. Beholding Christ was the prize.
I am one of those people to whom heaven is open. I need to live, unapologetically sharing the gospel, because there will be a day soon when I look up and see him. When my mouth says "Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God."
