Seeing God in the Hospital Ward
"Healthy people don't need doctors, but sick people can. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." — Mark 2:17
In March 2026, I was admitted to the internal medicine ward of Queen Elizabeth Hospital due to illness. A nasal tube, an intravenous drip, a urinary catheter - all three prongs, completely immobilized.
In those days, I saw three things.
1. The cry at two o'clock in the morning
In the middle of the night, there were shouts from the ward: "Help me...... Save me...... Save me......" People in the whole world are actually shouting the same sentence. Some people shout about money, some people shout about success, some people shout about entertainment, and some people shout about religion. Behind them are the same sentence - "Who can save me?"
2. Human dignity is actually very fragile
In the hospital, everything disappears: work, identity, status, face. Everyone wears the same patient clothes, everyone is lying on the hospital bed, and everyone needs someone else's care. In a hospital bed, there is nothing to boast about. "According to fate, everyone has a death, and after death there will be judgment." (Hebrews 9:27)
3. God is still looking for people
On the day I was discharged from the hospital, I met a 77-year-old brother in the ward. He had been exposed to ghosts and gods and later believed in Jesus, but the epidemic and illness caused him to leave the church for six years. It was not a coincidence – before I was discharged from the hospital, God allowed me to meet this brother in the same ward.
People need more than just doctors. What people really need is a Savior.
"Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to all the nations."
Mark 16:15
