Acts 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power and how He went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil because God was with Him.

John 3:2 Who came to Jesus at night and said to Him, Rabbi, we know and are certain that You have come from God [as] a Teacher; for no one can do these signs (these wonderworks, these miracles—and produce the proofs) that You do unless God is with him

Richard Wurmbrand, author of Tortured for Christ, died a couple of years ago. Wurmbrand was a Christian Lutheran minister who was put in prison for his faith in Romania by the Communist authorities for his faith. While Wurmbrand was in prison, he shared a cell with a young Communist lad, who wanted to have nothing to do with Christianity. Rations were very low in the prison, and yet Wurmbrand used to share his bread with that young atheist.  One day Wurmbrand was telling the young man about a Christian of whom it was said that he was like Jesus. The young man turned around to Wurmbrand and said, “If Jesus is like you, I would like to know him.”

During the message this past Sunday I mentioned that it was my prayer that the Lord would have people recognize Jesus in me – and let me know. I was so encouraged that afternoon when someone texted Jackie and I letting us know they saw Jesus in us. Others recognized the Father was with Jesus. Yesterday’s challenge was, Do others see Jesus in you? Yet, the challenge from Wurmbrand’s prison cell is,”If Jesus is like you, I would like to know him.” Do others want to know Jesus because of the way you live your life?

While you are contemplating that thought I want to challenge you to reach out to others that you have seen Jesus, and this week or next, let them know you see Jesus in them.
