MIRACLES NEVER CEASE
Rev. Robert L. Wise, Ph.D. explores the world of divine interventions from an objective point of view. An Archbishop in the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches with a Ph.D., Rev. Wise relates his interviews with persons who experienced the touch of God.
WHEN EASTER HAPPENED A SECOND TIME
Easter celebrates the miracle of life. What happened in Jerusalem in 33 A.D. hasn’t stopped. The impact continues today and into eternity. Here’s an example.
The Korean church leader Sung Ryong Kwak had been developing a ministry team that might propel their 700-member church to even greater heights. Deaconess Lee was one of the prime leaders working in team ministry. When the call from the hospital came, everyone was shocked. Lee had been found in her room with carbon monoxide poisoning and rushed to the hospital. The report was that her condition was serious.
Sung Kwak rushed to the small hospital in their village. A group had already gathered around the emergency room. The report was that the medical team was preparing to administer an electrical jump start to her heart. The defibrillator might restart the natural rhythm of Lee’s heart. Through the glass window, Sung could see the doctor’s working feverishly to shock the deaconess back to life but nothing seemed to be happening. He could see that the procedure wasn’t working.
The doctors finally emerged shaking their heads. They reported, “The patient is dead.”
Sung Ryong Kwak retreated to a quiet corner to be alone and pray. He cried out, “Please give life to this lady once more. … Lord, we need a miracle.”
A passage of scripture flashed through his mind. “Jesus said, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he die, He shall live.’” Sung profoundly believed this truth and claimed the promise.
An intern who heard the prayer was so impressed by the plea that he persuaded the doctors to shock Lee one more time. To their dismay, her heart responded and she was alive. Lee had been resurrected.
However, the doctor warned she would be severely mentally handicapped by the carbon monoxide poisoning. Lee was sixty-years old and brain damage was a virtual certainty. Maybe her revival wasn’t so positive after all.
Three days later, Sung was working in the church when the door opened. Deaconess Lee walked in. She was in perfect health; physically and mentally. Lee, too, had indeed been resurrected. Easter had come again.
We do well to remember that death has been defeated and life reaches into tomorrow. No circumstance can impede that journey. That’s the meaning of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is for today and tomorrow.
And remember that miracle never ceases.
