Scan of Eduardo Leite’s skull

Eduardo Leite, a 24-year-old construction worker in Rio De Janeiro, survived a terrible work-related accident recently when a 6-foot metal bar fell from above and lodged in his skull.

Doctors say that Leite was conscious when he arrived at the hospital and was able to tell them what had happened. It took 5 hours of surgery to successfully remove the bar from his skull.

It is amazing that Leite survived such a horrific accident and that he was able to live with an injury that would normally be fatal.

The Bible says that before we came to faith in Christ, we were spiritually dead. Even though we were conscious and able to talk and walk, we were dead in our transgressions.

“As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world…But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.”—Ephesians 2:1-5.
