Does Jesus know you?

This is a tale of two brothers.

Mark was always in church activities like the choir, go to missions attending even uninvited weddings, but always threw away the idea of Jesus in his heart.
John came once to church on Sunday but was always and sincerely repentant and had surely accepted Jesus in his heart.
On this dreadful day, the taxi driver was driving at such a speed that John and Mark literally died before the taxi had even swayed off the road. Their home was filled with pastors since Mark was a church person. None of them knew about John, actually many of them were shocked that mark had a brother.

On the other side of the fence or can we say world:

They get up from the floor and look around in amazement; that is when they see the angel with books opened.
Angel: come up here! {He commands} What is your name?
Mark: Mark Mwesigwa
Angel: Your name is not in this book.
Mark: How come, because even the archbishop of Uganda knows me by name, there must be a mistake.
Angel: Yes the archbishop knows you but does Jesus know you?
Satan: At that point Satan comes in and pulls him out.
{pause}
Rev: Mark has been a very good boy; loving, he has even been singing in the choir, he never misses any service on Sunday or fellowship; today we rejoice that he has gone to be with the Lord Jesus.

John: to speak the truth for me I think I do not have to tell you my name because obviously it is not there.
Satan: Yes, you are very correct I wish all people were as truthful as you.
John: But any way my name is John Kusaasira.
Angel: {checks in the book} Come ye who are beloved of the lord into his rest.

{Pause}
Rev: Well I do not know much about John, but the question is if you die right now, have you secured a place for yourself in heaven? It does not matter if you had dinner with the bishop, does Jesus know you?
