Jesus Statue Survives Typhoon Haiyan's Destruction In The Philippines (PHOTO) by phlame(m): 4:52pm On Nov 16, 2013 |
As Typhoon Haiyan tore through the Philippines, it caused destruction on an unprecedented scale, tearing up homes and causing families to flee its violent path. However, one survivor continued to stand tall with arms outstretched-- a giant statue of Jesus Christ that escaped unscathed from the natural disaster. Though Haiyan erased entire towns from the map, Jesus remains upright, casting a protective gaze over the coastal town of Tanauan, in the central Philippines. Pope Francis urged Catholics worldwide to pray for the victims of the typhoon that ravaged the Philippines, which has the largest number of Catholics in Asia. The preservation of the statue has served as a symbol of hope to those still struggling to survive the typhoon's wounds, which left around 5,000 dead, according to recent death tolls. Miracle, or simply coincidence? SOURCE http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/15/jesus-statue-typhoon_n_4284415.html?1384553100&ncid=webmail17 15 Likes

most of the houses are standing as well. This is no miracle. that area pictured does not have very high flood levels. when I read the article, I thought it would be something like this: Statue of Lord Shiva (God of Destructive Forces) that withstood the recent floods in North India. 22 Likes

It only goes to show that if they had built their houses as solidly as that lifeless statue, perhaps their houses would still be standing with fewer lives lost in the typhoon. The same thing happens here when struggling families sacrifice a lot to fund the lavish life style of their pastors in the vain hope that God would somehow reward them for such gross foolishness when they should instead be thinking of how to get the maximum utility from their income. 43 Likes |

What has Jesus' statue surviving a typhoon got to do with anything? You might as well ask why a statue survived and many human beings died. Smh. When war ravaged israel, even the temple was destroyed. 1 Like |
