Dengue And Salvation
Rashelle went down one day with a fever, severe headache and body pains. After a few days the fever tapered off completely. But she was not feeling any better. Feeling weak and debilitated, she was languishing in bed.
Her mother did not take any chances, and so off to the hospital they went.
At the hospital, the doctor revealed that her platelet count was low---she had dengue!
Without delay, she was admitted to the hospital and was put on IV, with round the clock monitoring. Result after result, the counts were getting worse. Their hearts sank when the count reached to a precarious level.
At level 10, her life was hanging in the balance. She vomited sticky blood the size of an egg. Her mother prepared herself for the worst but was hoping for the best.
However, in the nick of time, someone donated blood to her and was saved.
What could this be but a picture of salvation! Here we are stricken with a deadly disease called sin. Weak and enervated, we could not do anything about it.
But Someone came "in due time" and shed His blood for us. "...when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly." Romans 5:6
My friend, are you willing to trust in the blood He has shed for you? Are you willing to receive by faith His sacrifice for you? Trust in what He did on the cross and be saved!
