(~) Seen Jesus lately?
If you haven't seen Jesus lately, you must surely be the only one. Jesus
sightings are at an all-time high, including...
Joyce Simpson, who saw the face of Jesus in a forkful of spaghetti on a
billboard in Georgia. Numerous other people called to say they had seen it
as well, though some claimed the image was singer Jim Morrison or country
star Willie Nelson.
Rita Rachen spotted the image of Jesus holding a small child on the side
of a soybean oil tank in Ohio, almost driving off the road in the process.
Numerous believers visited the site beforethe tank was repainted, covering
the image.
Arlene Granger saw the face of Christ on the side of an old refrigerator
she had dragged out onto her porch. The image was created by the
neighbor's porch light reflecting off the side of
the appliance. After several thousand visitors traveled to the Tennessee
site, Arlene's neighbors disconnected their porch light, ending the
sightings.
Finally, Maria Rubio was cooking burritos one day when she noticed a 3
inch face of Jesus burned into a tortilla. She framed the tortilla and
built a shrine in her living room. Since 1977,
more than 11,000 people have visited the shrine.
Stories like these tell me one thing: people are looking for Jesus. If
11,000 people will travel to see a tortilla, how strong must their desire
to find him be?
I don't expect that you will have a miraculous vision of Jesus today
(though if you do I definitely want to hear about it). But you can show
Jesus to the people around you this week simply by sharing His love with
them. In fact, the most common way people see Jesus today is not by
reading the Bible or going to church, but by receiving His love from one
of His children.
A song we sang as teenagers asks this question: "Have you ever ... seen
the face of Christ on your brother?" If so, the song continues, "Then I'd
say you've seen Jesus my Lord." We most often see Jesus in one another.
You can be and do many things with your life, but try this one:Be Jesus to
somebody this week. You might be just what they are looking for.
