MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!
Rev. Robert L. Wise, Ph.D. explores the world of divine interventions from an objective point of view. An Archbishop in the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches with a Ph.D., Rev. Wise relates his interviews with persons who experienced the touch of God.
RUSHING TO DEATH WHEN…
Everyone is concerned with the terrible war raging in the Gaza Strip. Regardless of your political persuasion, what is and has happened is heart breaking. Could anything good come out of this chaos? Doesn’t seem so.
And yet the love of God is not bound. Here’s an example of how divine concern is still at work in the Holy Land. For anonymity sake, we’ll call the man I’m talking about Omar Habibi. Here’s what happened to Omar.
Because he was a Palestinian, Omar grew up in a refugee camp. The hardship had turned him into a bitter enemy of Israel. He felt the Jews had kicked him out of a normal life and robbed him of happiness. Consequently, his goal in life had become to kill as many Jews as possible. Bitterness motivated his every thought. Omar wanted to be part of some group that would fight against the Jews. He made contact with people who worked with Hamas and set out to join the terrorist group.
Omar walked down the narrow, winding streets of Jerusalem on his way to a secret rendezvous when abruptly a man in a white robe appeared in front of him. The figure pointed at him and said, “Omar, this is not the life I have planned for you. Turn around. Go home. I have another plan for you.”
Mystified, Omar staggered home in a daze. He couldn’t shake off the experience. Later that day Omar saw a new tenant moving in across the hall from him and heard the man was a Christian. Omar knew nothing about Jesus, but had to know more about what happened to him out there on the street. Because of his encounter, he asked the Christian what the experience might mean. The new friend took him to the scriptures and helped him understand that he had been confronted by the Jesus who physically walked the earth 2,000 years ago and now returned spiritually to help people. Omar had been confronted by a miracle.
Omar was astounded. He could not deny what he had seen in the street. In a way that he could not fully comprehend or explain, Omar had met the risen Christ. The young man changed his mind and his destiny. Today Omar is an underground church planter.
Easter continues and this is another one of many stories for the season. Of all the miracle experiences I have encountered, resurrection stories remain at the top of the list. Reach out to the risen Christ and you too can become part of the story.
