Modern technology can be a truly wonderful thing!!!  When I think of all the medical progress that has occurred in my short lifetime, it is truly amazing. Think of it, artificial hearts, all sorts of organ transplants, non-invasive scans of all kinds and so many other things that I just can't think of at the moment. And then there is Jesus; 2000 years ago- healing all sorts of problems...
 
Luke, Chapter 7
19 John, calling to himself two of his disciples, sent them to Jesus, saying, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for another?”  20 When the men had come to him, they said, “John the Baptizer has sent us to you, saying, ‘Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?’” 

  21  In that hour he cured many of diseases and plagues and evil spirits; and to many who were blind he gave sight.  22 Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you have seen and heard: that the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.   23  Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”

 Jesus performed miracles, genuine miracles!!!  The like of which even two millennia later- we still can not do. Scoff at this statement? Ask yourself, when was the last time you saw someone raised from the dead?  Yet, there are numerous instances in the Bible (John 11, Luke 7, Matthew 9 and 28, Mark 5).  And yet some people will not believe, no matter how many witnesses there are.  One thing is obvious; the lady in the video is overjoyed at being able to hear again. I am very happy for her and hope she completely recovers!!!  Imagine for a moment, the joy of every Christian, when they experience resurrection and the fellowship of heaven???  True joy- defined; beyond comprehension!!!!
