Look! It’s Jesus!
As I was outside unplugging Happy, a woman walked up. “Are you in a ministry?” I guess she’d seen the sign on the side of Happy. I told her a little about what I did.
“You’re an evangelist,” she said.
I smiled. “I guess I am.” For some reason, of all the titles that describe my calling, I use that one the least and yet it pleases me the most.
“My husband’s a minister at a tiny church.” She went on to describe their call to the church. “Where are you going next?” she asked.
“I don’t know what God has planned but I hope to drive to Eureka Springs to see the Passion Play.”
“Oh, it’s wonderful,” she gushed. “If you haven’t been, you have to go. I took my daughter there years ago. She was only six. There was a moment in the play when the cross lit up on the hill. At the exact moment the light hit the cross, lightening streaked across the sky, lighting up the cross more. Of course, it wasn’t supposed to do that but it was just one of those moments. Startled by what they had just witnessed, no one made a sound until my daughter screamed at the top of her lungs, ‘Look! It’s Jesus.’ Everyone at the play began looking around for Jesus.”
