Professor E.C. Caldwell ended his lecture. "Tomorrow," he said to his class of seminary students, "I will be teaching on \reference{Romans 8}{Romans 8}. So tonight, as you study, pay special attention to \reference{verse 28}{Romans 8:28}. Notice what this verse truly says, and what it doesn't say." Then he added, "One final word before I dismiss you -- whatever happens in all the years to come, remember: \reference{Romans 8:28}{Romans 8:28} will always hold true." That same day Dr. Caldwell and his wife met with a tragic car-train accident. She was killed instantly and he was crippled permanently. Months later, Professor Caldwell returned to his students, who clearly remembered his last words. The room was hushed as he began his lecture. "\reference{Romans 8:28}{Romans 8:28}," he said, "still holds true. One day we shall see God's good, even in this."
