Come On Jesus, Make My Day!

Christ In A Lava Lamp WHERE WAS JESUS on the 4th of April 2004 when a flash flood struck Piedras Negras on the Tex-Mex border, killing 29 people and destroying over 500 homes?

On that day He was appearing in the lava lamp of 15-year-old Doug Gelring's bedroom :
"My heart kept beating. I was so surprised about it. It was just awesome. I wasn't scared. It was just amazing."

"Though Moses and Elijah and some other prophets had the power to perform miracles, no one ever performed so many and so great miracles as Christ. He healed the sick, cleansed the lepers, gave sight to the blind, cast out evil spirits, stilled the stormy sea, and even raised the dead to life.

Not only did he do these wonderful miracles himself, but he gave power to his followers to heal the sick and raise the dead. When his disciples saw him calm the sea during a heavy storm they marveled. It is no wonder that they were amazed, for he was indeed a wonderful person."

J.C. Gets Plastered

JC Gets Plastered WHERE WAS JESUS on the 8th of November 2000 when a young mother was mauled to death by her pet Doberman at her home in Cornwall, after it became agitated when she had an epileptic fit?
On that day He was busy appearing on a kitchen wall in Tyneside:
Unemployed Colin said: "I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. I stood back and at first I thought it must have been the paint fumes.

"There was the head of Christ just coming through the plaster. Me and my brother Tom had been working on the wall.

"He did the first coat and it was when we came to put the second coat on that the image began to come through. "It seems to be a case of 'Our Father, who art in Hebburn'."

"Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven. Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law--a man's enemies will be the members of his own household. Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me"

Christ On A Chapati

Christ On A Chapati WHERE WAS JESUS on the 13th of November 2002 when the violent storm that rocked Portugal and Spain toppled two construction cranes and sank an oil tanker, resulting in the loss of several lives?
On that particular day, the Lord was besporting Himself on a chapati in Bangalore, India:
"The chapati - a loaf of unleavened bread - is one of dozens that Shella Anthony bakes in her oven in Bangalore every day. But this one she thought was different. Burnt into it was what looked like the image of the face of Jesus Christ.
Shella Anthony took the loaf to a local church and word spread like wildfire.
Church officials say nearly 20,000 Christians have already visited the Renewal Retreat Centre to pay homage in front of the chapati, which has now been mounted in a glass case, and to offer prayers."

"Jesus is the One you need. He alone. Not your works. Not your sincerity. Not your goodness. You have nothing to offer God except your sinfulness. It is only by the love and grace of God found in Jesus and His sacrifice that you can be delivered from the righteous wrath of God upon all who have broken His law. Jesus saves you from God because God made us sinful and on the Day of Judgment God will judge all people for their sins against Him. He will be vindicated. He will judge."

Jesus On A Wet Wall

Christ On A Wet Wall WHERE WAS JESUS on the 25th of February 2000 when 57 residents of a Melbourne nursing home were discovered to have a strange and incredibly painful skin rash?
Unfortunately, Christ's busy schedule had Him appearing on a wet church wall in Dradenton, Florida. Although the locals were overjoyed, it did nothing to ease the agony of the Australian pensioners.
"Now, the 15-foot figure, which appears to be topped with a halo, has become the latest pilgrimage for people looking to be healed or to be closer to God.

The image appeared Wednesday morning on the east side of the church after the structure underwent its first cleaning since it was built in the early 1970s. "I am very humbled by it," said Alice Leonards, an 11-year member of the church. "I have never experienced anything like this in my life."

"When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven you." Some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, "Why does this man speak blasphemies like this? Who can forgive sins but God alone?" When Jesus perceived in his spirit that they were thinking this to themselves, he said, "Why are you thinking about these things? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven you', or to say, 'Rise, take up your bed and walk'?"

Shroud For A Nightingale?

Christ On A Dusty Cloth WHERE WAS JESUS on the 10th of April 1349 when the Hundred Year War had been raging between France and England for over eleven years and the Black Death had just finished ravaging most of Europe?
He was having His face imprinted on a dusty cloth owned by Geoffrey de Charny, a French knight who needed a pilgrim-attracting relic for the church he was going to build:

"According to the "D'Arcis Memorandum", written more than thirty years later, the first known expositions of the Shroud are held in Lirey at around this time. Large crowds of pilgrims are attracted and special souvenir medallions are struck. Reportedly, Bishop Henri refused to believe the Shroud could be genuine and ordered the expositions halted. The Shroud was then hidden away."

Christ On A Tree Trunk WHERE WAS JESUS on the 26th of January 2002 when a bakery worker in Colnbrook, Berkshire, was crushed to death by a two-ton mixing bowl falling on him?
Obviously He wasn't too concerned about the fate of breadmakers because He was away in Milwaukee, appearing on the base of a tree in the yard of Ella Huffin.

"In infancy the tree got tangled up with a knee-high metal fence that now protrudes ridiculously from its rotting midsection. This is one sad excuse for a living organism.
The tree's withered and weathered failed half is where you can see Jesus from far enough away to allow the jagged wood to be compressed by your eyes into a two-dimensional human figure.
The closer you get, the harder it is to see Jesus. Stand near enough to run your hands over the tree's lame appendage and it's impossible to say where exactly he appeared just a moment ago."

"And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
