Not to many months ago I took a class to learn CPR. This stands for "cardiopulmonary resuscitation," which is defined as "...an emergency procedure consisting of external cardiac massage and artificial respiration for a person who has collapsed and has no pulse and has stopped breathing; attempts to restore circulation of the blood and prevent death or brain damage due to lack of oxygen."
God gave man this amazing medical knowledge! How incredible to know that we can have that knowledge, just by taking a class and being taught the procedure involved; to physically stimulate another human beings heart, to restore the blood flow throughout thier entire bodies, and to prevent bodily damage and death! That persons life is literally in your hands as you use your hands to massage thier heart, and as you place your mouth over that of anothers to resusitate, you are giving them your breath.
I am right now thinking JESUS. Isn't He the CPR that God gave us? Didn't He know that we were in need of a major emergency procedure that would bring us back to Him? Bring us back to Life? He knew we were spiritually collapsed; He knew that we no longer had a pulse for Him; that it was non-existant, and that we had stopped breathing. He knew that we needed the Blood to flow out, and then into, our lives. And He knew also that without it, we would be, and remain, dead!
With every breath God gives me, I stand in awe of just how much He loves me! How He loved me first, and how He loved me enough to give me Jesus; to give me CPR, so that I might live! He gave His life, and then brought me back to life! Now I have a heart for Him, and my every breath is because of Him. I don't have to walk around brain dead any longer, and I don't rely on external hands to massage my heart. Jesus holds me in His Hands now, and is continually, ever so gently, massaging my heart, and breathing His precious Life into mine.
The CPR definition above says that it is an "attempt to restore circulation of the blood and prevent death..." but Jesus's definition states;
"IT IS FINISHED!"
There are alot of "walking dead" among us. People who are experiencing cardiac arrest, and need the Hands of Jesus to touch them, and to perform His CPR on them. Yet, do they know and have they heard? Are we telling people about the Greatest Teacher Alive, and that they, too, can become a student of His, to learn of Him and sit with Him, for eternity? Do they know that they can take His class, and live and NOT die!?! I myself have determined to be bolder, and to start giving 'mouth to mouth resuscitation' to those walking dead every chance I get! I am going to give them the "Kiss of Life" ! I'm going to massage thier hearts with the Word of God, and watch HIM BREATHE on them!
