There is never a dull moment, as the saying goes. It was Tuesday, yesterday, when I went to my hospital appointment for a second stent placement to my right artery. I “just happen” to get a very pleasant and helpful “go-fer” (female nurse). I was asking her for favours left and right, and she does them without a slightest complaint. (And you and I know that all these good things come from the LORD GOD HIMSELF). And after the operation, she even helped me stand up to get ready to go home (and this is after several hours of waiting and recuperating), and cover me with a nice comfortable blanket as a wrap around my exposed rear end.
Anyway, while I was waiting to get the stent, I got curious about the human anatomy, particularly the heart. So, just to verify, I ask my friendly female nurse what the difference was between the blood vessels in the heart? And she said, the veins are the vessels that carry the “dirty” blood to the heart. And the artery is where the “clean” blood get carried out to the body. Then I had an epiphany. Isn’t that what the LORD JESUS is to us sinners? We are like the “dirty” blood. And the only way we can be cleansed is by going to the LORD JESUS for the forgiveness of our sins. “Being justified freely by HIS grace through the redemption that is in CHRIST JESUS:” (Romans 3:24). Thus making the human souls clean, and new. “Therefore if any man be in CHRIST, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” (2 Corinthians 5:17).
