"In a flawless operation that unfolded before a hopeful, transfixed world, 33 miners who were trapped for more than two months deep beneath the Chilean earth were raised one by one Wednesday through a smooth-walled shaft of rock."- this is first line today in the headlines. I have been captivated by this story.
Yesterday I watched live as they pulled out the 20th miner from 2,000 feet beneath the earth to safety. One of the miner was quoted to say to the effect of what an amazing thing it is to breathe the air and see the stars. When one of the miners came out a rescuer said this to him ""Welcome to life". Welcome to LIFE, I cannot help but think about my rescue that occured some 2000 years ago. Trapped beneath the weight of sin, seperated from God, each man and woman and child was what seemed to be hopeless and without aid.
This plan was planned since the beginning, with great care, perfection and precision. Just as the rescuers sent the pod down to the miners in the earth, our great God sent His son to the earth, not only to it, but in it. Jesus knows what its like to be buried under the weight of sin, he bore the weight and said...."Welcome to LIFE". My friends, brothers and sisters, Welcome to LIFE.
