I FOUND JESUS THERE Author Unknown For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. - Romans 5:10 The surgeon sat beside the boys bed; the boys parents sat across from him. Tomorrow morning, the surgeon began, Ill open up your heart... Youll find Jesus there, the boy interrupted. The surgeon looked up, annoyed. Ill cut your heart open, he continued, to see how much damage has been done... But when you open up my heart, youll find Jesus in there. The surgeon looked to the parents, who sat quietly. When I see how much damage has been done, Ill sew your heart and chest back up and Ill plan what to do next. But youll find Jesus in my heart. The Bible says He lives there. The hymns all say He lives there. Youll find Him in my heart. The surgeon had had enough. Ill tell you what Ill find in your heart. Ill find damaged muscle, low blood supply, and weakened vessels. And Ill find out if I can make you well. Youll find Jesus there too. He lives there. The surgeon left. The surgeon sat in his office, recording his notes from the surgery: ...damaged aorta, damaged pulmonary vein, widespread muscle degeneration. No hope for transplant, no hope for cure. Therapy: painkillers and bed rest. Prognosis: here he paused, death within one year. He stopped the recorder, but there was more to be said. Why? he asked aloud. Why did You do this? Youve put him here; Youve put him in this pain; and Youve cursed him to an early death. Why? The Lord answered and said, The boy, My lamb, was not meant for your flock for long, for he is a part of My flock, and will forever be. Here, in My flock, he will feel no pain, and will be comforted as you cannot imagine. His parents will one day join him here, and they will know peace, and My flock will continue to grow. The surgeons tears were hot, but his anger was hotter. You created that boy, and You created that heart. Hell be dead in months. Why? The Lord answered, The boy, My lamb, shall return to My flock, for he has done his duty: I did not put My lamb with your flock to lose him, but to retrieve another lost lamb. The surgeon wept. The surgeon sat beside the boys bed; the boys parents sat across from him. The boy awoke and whispered, Did you cut open my heart? Yes, said the surgeon. What did you find? asked the boy. I found Jesus there, said the surgeon. You will succeed in Jesus Name! ©kip preachin~2014
