I. Joy and Grief
A. Are Solitary
There is no interface, device, or wire that can connect one human to another in such a way that they can fully share their whole heart with all of its complex feelings with another human being.
Having said that, we humans have been created by God with the unique ability to connect with each other and share our sorrow, fear, humor, and joy with other human beings.
Shared joy is doubled joy, and shared sorrow is half sorrow.
The only way for you to be known then is for you to be willing to open up and express yourself to others.
We especially as believers should share with each other as well as seek to understand and share the emotions of others.
Trapped in His Body for 23 Years
John 3:36; Acts 16:31
Preaching Themes: Discouragement, Eternity, Hope
What if you were yelling for help and no one could hear you?
You could see them right there in front of you, but they could not hear your calls?
Such was life for Rom Houben, a Belgian man in a coma.
At least they thought he was in a coma.
He said, “I was shouting, but no one could hear me.”
In 2006 doctors used new scanning techniques and found that Rom—who had spend 23 years in this “coma”—had normal brain function.
Now he communicates with the world using a special keyboard.
I can’t think of a more hopeless feeling than being completely aware of your surrounding and totally unable to communicate with friends and family, doctors and nurses.
