Dangerous Jobs. Fatal Mistakes. Worker injuries. Electricians are killed when they mistakenly touch live wires. Some folks have lost limb or life while operating heavy machinery or manufacturing equipment. Doctors caring for patients on the front lines combatting disease such as Ebola, SARS, MERS and now Covid-19, have contracted the disease themselves and died. Nurses and other healthcare workers make mistakes with needles and have contracted HIV, or other infectious blood diseases. Pilots and their passengers have been killed because of mistakes or negligence. I remember watching a show about plane crashes and in this one particular crash, investigators discovered from the black box conversations that the pilot was drunk and unable to properly decipher his instrument panel and thinking the plane was about to stall put the plane into a nosedive killing everyone on board. Even Pastors have been killed. Not that our job is crazy dangerous, at least not in our part of the world. I had a co-worker whose husband was a pastor and he was killed in the baptistry; electrocuted by the microphone. Deadly mistakes happen. Some jobs are inherently more dangerous, and/or have the potential hazard of the worker getting killed. When you work in one of these jobs, you must always be on the alert, because a small mistake, error in judgment, can mean the difference between life and death. So what does that have to do with us this morning, you might ask? Let’s find out together as we turn to our text.
