John Thomas was a brilliant medical student from Edinburgh.
He could have used his talents virtually anywhere, but he felt a calling from God to go overseas and serve as a medical missionary in India.
But a few days before his departure, he took a tragic turn, rapid onset pulmonary tuberculosis.
And so instead of boarding the ship to India, he was confined to a convalescent home.
And because of his medical training, he knew what was happening to his body.
And so he prayed fervently for a miracle.
He dedicated his life to God, and while he knew that didn't mean that God owed him a miracle, he hoped that God would heal him so he could pursue that mission.
But despite his prayers and the prayers of his family, his condition only worsened.
God wasn't answering his prayers a yes.
Instead, his condition became so dire that there was no hope of recovery.
John Thomas died at the age of 25 of tuberculosis.
His story is relived time and again by Christians around the world.
The young and the old, the rich and the poor, all of us face pain, disease, cancer, failing bodies.
And when it hits us, we all pray for a miracle.
We all pray for healing, slow or fast.
Sometimes God answers those prayers, yes.
Sometimes he answers them, no.
But it's always devastating when he says no to bright souls like John Thomas, young people with so much good in their hearts and life ahead of them.
So it's no surprise that when things like this happen, well, they leave people's friends and family members wondering, where is God?
Why has he done nothing?
