The Emergency Room

Hey, hey, Mosaic RC!
As you consider an E.R. room, what goes through you mind? I sense sirens, ambulances, lots of adrenalin, rushing around, monitors, defibrillator paddles, blood, and doctors. Usually what we see in the physical world is so obvious, because it is all so tangible. However, there is a world that is not so obvious: the spiritual realm. It is invisible to our eyes, but it is as real as your arm. As we live life, we are constantly under the attack of an evil militia. Ephesians 6 tells us how to combat this enemy. But what about those of us that have been so brutally beaten and bruised? Where do we go to find solace? Who can heal our aches and pains - bandage our open wounds that the world has so harshly inflicted? Where do we refer our friends that have afflictions from this unforgiving world? I believe that God has called the church to be that place. Unfortunately, some churches seem to be hard to get into. Much like the uninviting waiting room in the urgent care, they say, “Take a number and have a seat. We’ll get to you ’soon.’”
I pray that God would make Mosaic RC an emergency room that has plenty of beds, workers, and patients to recover from their injuries while they are met and healed by Jesus - the “Great Physician.”
Go heal the sick and raise the dead,
Rod
Post Script,
I wanted to say thanks to all of you who have so graciously cooked for all of our new parents. Thanks for loving so generously!
