THE OMINOUS MRI

April 23:

They now have done an MRI and there is clearly brain damage. There is damage to the left side of his brain. He will likely have motor problems with the right side of his body. His right eye may have problems, etc. Thankfully retardation is ruled out. My prayer is for some kind of recovery assuming such damage is irreversible. God then reminds me of the resurrection. I begin to consider Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. Read about it in John 11.

When Jesus showed up Lazarus had been dead four days. When He asked for the stone to be rolled away from the tomb, Martha warned him there would be a stench. I wonder what the MRI of Lazarus looked like. My guess is any expert neurologist worth his salt would have said, “I assure you this guy will not be home for lunch.”

Minutes later Jesus called Lazarus out. The MRI then would have shown one astounding change.

I started praying for resurrected brain cells for Ian.
