It is strange what time does. I’m a six-year-old kid being kicked out of the dentist’s office. Whatever I did to cause such an eruption I don’t remember. My mother was informed in no uncertain terms that she was to remove her son from his office.
As time processes things, forty some years transpired. He is now on a gurney in an ambulance being transported to a trauma center. The paramedic caring for him had a memory return from some deep, forgotten recesses of the mind. You guessed it, I was that caregiver.
I could have taken out a syringe, squirted out some saline in front of him, and then told him the story of a kid that was kicked out of a dentist’s office some forty years ago. Of course, you know I didn’t do that. I gave him the best of care like I did with all my patients.
My belief is that God causes these situations to happen to reveal to us that we are not what we used to be. We have been renewed as a result of the blood of Christ.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
Think about it.
