Fix-It-Job

II Kings 10-12

Finally a king whose heart is right with the Lord and chooses to follow Him.  Jehoash becomes king and the first thing he does is repair the Temple of the Lord.  Humans love “fix-it jobs”; we like to repair things that are busted, restore what’s wrecked, mend what’s broken.  One of the most rewarding acts of “fix-it” restoration is modern medicine.  I am a great recipient of the miracles that man can do with a human body that has been sorely broken up. 

Can you imagine what happened in the grave that first Easter morning?  Cells laid dead for three days slowly revive, kidneys begin to process, liver wakes up, lungs long since hard become fresh and soft and expand with that first breath of sweet air.  The heart starts up, baa bump, baa bump and blood begins to rush from head to toe. The body, purple as death, slowly turns pink and God becomes WARM.  The Holy Brain filled with warm blood knows He’s alive and opens His eyes.  He is alive.

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”  John 3:16

The greatest “fix-it-job” of all time.
