Jesus: The Difference Maker!
William Wyne
Luke 24: 15, 19, 21
It has been said if one has an encounter with Jesus, they are not the same anymore. If one has an encounter with the divine, something will be different if they allow the encounter to have its way.
Jacob wrestled with God at the Jabbok River, and he was never the same anymore.
Isaiah had an encounter with God in the year King Uzziah died, and he was a changed man.
Jeremiah testified that his encounter was like fire within his bones.
In the New Testament, a blind man who meets Jesus is changed. It was true of a man whose name was Saul, he meets Christ on the Damascus Road, and he is not the same.
Christ can make a difference on how you can see. He can open your eyes that you may truly see truth. He can change your perspective of life, of living, of getting to the next level of life.

Sergeant Jacob DeShazer was a bombardier during World War II. While bombing a city in Japan, his plane was hit by a missile. He and the crew bailed out, but were captured. They were beaten and tortured. Day after day, they experienced harshness and hatred toward them. DeShazer had but one desire; he prayed for revenge on his captors. One day he asked a captor that always wore a cross for a Bible. That captor smuggled a Bible into the cell, and for almost six months, he read it daily, until one of his captors found the Bible. It was taken from him, but something had started to happen with him. He found himself praying for his captors. He began to be less harsh and cold towards them. And in hi ...
