The Hudson River Miracle

theophilus January 15th, 2009

A plane with 155 people aboard crashes into the Hudson River in New York City – and all survive.  This sort of thing is only supposed to happen in the movies, right?  I’m half expecting Kiefer Sutherland or Harrison Ford or Bruce Willis to pop up on TV.

I don’t want to throw around the term “miracle” too loosely, but this was a bona-fide miracle.  It is God telling us that he can do anything, no matter how impossible we think it to be.

And I do wonder whether it was a host of angels laying the plane on the water and keeping it afloat until rescue came?  Was it Mary calming everyone’s nerves, most particularly the pilot’s?  Was it Christ walking on the water, warming the seas, and keeping everyone out of harm’s way until help arrived?

This miracle reminds me that God is always in control – always!

WOW!
