The beautiful mind of Shonda Rimes has given us a world where we're able to follow young and attractive doctors on their journeys to becoming surgeons. Not only does she provide us with wonderful ideas and entertainment, but she made us feel as though we could pick up a scalpel and run right into the ER with Dr. Grey. While most of us may not be actual surgeons, there are many lessons that the average watcher is able to get out of the emotion-filled drama. Even though "Grey’s Anatomy" is not a Christ-based drama, there are still lessons that we, as Christians, are able to apply to our daily lives for Christ.

From the drama between coworkers to the incoming traumas in the emergency room, anyone who watches even one episode of "Grey's Anatomy" can tell that everything can change in a split second. Just as in any hospital, doctors can never make a promise as to how a treatment or surgery will work or turn out. A completely healthy patient could be going into surgery to donate a kidney, but things may not go to plan. In the operating room, anything can happen, as a body is opened and exposed to the elements surrounding it. One minute, the patient could be stable and fully functioning, and the next, the healthy patient could be in need of CPR when his or her heart rate or blood pressure suddenly drops drastically. This patient then could either become rapidly worse, or return to normal and stable levels. In either circumstance, the doctors may not know what caused the drastic change or how to fix what's happened.

However, this isn't the case when it comes to Christ. Hebrews 13:8 says, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." Unlike the stability of a patient on an operating table, we can know, as Christians, that our savior will forever be the same and love us. He is never changing, even though mankind changes and messes up many, many times a day.

Another time that "Grey's" has taught a lesson that Christians can apply to their daily lives is when Meredith was able to accept the fact that she had to work with her husband's "killer," Penny. When Derek was in his wreck, he was taken to Dillard Hospital where Penelope (Penny) Blake was interning. As this news is revealed, Miranda Bailey remembers that Penny is to be a new intern at the Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. As the story continues, Meredith is paired with Penny as one of her interns. Not only will Meredith have to remember the face that killed her husband, but she will now have to work side by side with her.

Ephesians 4:31-32 tell us to "Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." While Meredith has not completely forgiven Penny for making the decision for killing Derek, she has moved on to deal with the fact that she has to take Penny under her wing.

By learning to cope with the issues of the past, Christians are able to learn from Meredith Grey, in this circumstance because she shows second chances and moving forward from the past.
