You

I enjoyed this book by Roberto Badenas in which he describes
in the 16 chapters encounters of people who met Jesus while He was here on
earth. From John the Baptist by the river Jordan to Cleopas on the road to
Emmaus, Nicodemus, who visited Jesus at night, the unnamed woman at the well at
Samaria, and many more the author describes the life changing encounters these
people had with Jesus.
The author states:
God does not evaluate us by what we
are now, but by what we can become. He knows that the powers now dominating us
are, in the end, alien to us. He knows that if we choose to let them go they
will become nothing more than a foggy memory of our past existence.
In spite of what we have been
taught, we do not need to be “good” in order to receive His grace. He accepts
us as we are, but He loves us too much to leave us in our present condition.
His eyes see beyond our painful present to a victorious future. And so He comes
to lift us from the quagmire of our life. He extends to us His outstretched
hand and His grace so that we can become “good.”
The author does a masterful job of describing the
circumstances and the locations e.t.c., where these people encountered Jesus.
