One morning as I sat at an intersection waiting for a break in traffic, a large truck pulled out into the path of an oncoming car. The apparent point of impact was just a few feet in front of me. Then, in a flash, one driver recognized what was about to happen, the slightest adjustment took place, and there was no collision.
The distance between disaster and a normal morning could have been measured in centimeters or nanoseconds, but the difference in the lives of several people was immense.
Take another situation. Near a market area in Jerusalem was a pool around which a great number of sick people congregated. John's Gospel tells of a man there who had been crippled for many years and how he was healed by Christ Jesus.
