Matthew 19:25b - 26 "Who, then, can be saved? And looking at them, Jesus told them: For man, this is impossible; but for God everything is possible."(translated MvD, RVR, 1960)
* 33 men survived for around 2 weeks on rations for only 48 hours.
* 33 men survived for 2 weeks on rations for 48 hours, and then when found, accepted what they were told about a wait of minimum 4 months for a possible rescue.
* 33 men faced death all day long, each day, for 69-70 days.
* 33 men, one-by-one, individually faced a perilous transition in order to leave a certain fate, and one-by-one humbly praised God and thanked Him and all those who participated in his rescue.
* 1 rescuer, the last to leave the mine, waited alone in that quiet pit, trusting the capsule would descend one more time and take him home.
They´re calling it "The Miracle of San José". And I keep hearing that song "Arise, My Love" in my head. Not just for the miners, but for us too.
What a privilege to have been praying with you all on their behalf all this time - what an awesome God.
