One Hundred and Fifty-Five

Guest Author’s Series: David Hauser, Regional Director of International Healing Rooms

The other day my wife took me to the movies to watch the Miracle on the Hudson. A true story of an airline captain who landed his airliner on a river with 155 people aboard, which never had been done before and in which all one hundred and fifty-five people survived.

As I watched the movie, God began speaking to me. The actor, Tom Hanks, portraying Sully Sullenberger struggled and would not leave the plane until he knew all the passengers were safely off the sinking plane. I felt God say to me that this was a portrayal of how Christ has engaged himself with his creation.

The motion picture unfolded with Sully unwilling to leave the plane, checking every row and seat, to make sure that everyone had gotten out of the plane’s cabin. Some of his crew was begging him to get out before the plane sinks. Finally, he was persuaded to leave the sinking plane but only after he had done all he could do.

When he got to shore one of the authorities told him that he had done all that he could do. He was still reticent until he knew all that could be saved, had been saved.

As I ponder the sequence of events, I felt the Lord remind me of how our Savior was so fully invested in us that he didn’t want any of us to perish. I am reminded in Scripture how Christ said to the Father, John 17:12, “All that you have given me I have not lost one of them, except the son of perdition.”

I believe there is never a wasted prayer that we offer to our Father for those who have been put into our lives. His love for our family and friends is beyond our understanding. Like Sully on the Hudson River, let us continue to contend that God’s Spirit will search them out, and bring them into the Kingdom. God’s will depends on our willingness to accomplish His will, as Christ was so should we be in this world.
