Annually there are reported sightings of Jesus, Mary and other saints from all over the world and I think it is safe to say most are not what they appear to be. But one three year old daughter went to her parents last week and told them she hadn’t just seen Jesus but had spoken to Him.
In her dialogue she pointed to her head and exclaimed, “Jesus Owee” then pointed to her rib cage and again stated, “Jesus Owee.” As the parents listened their daughter pointed to both her wrists and ankles again declaring, “Jesus Owee.”
As the story unfolded she had stood waving at Jesus then blew Him a kiss and told the Messiah she loved Him. Then she told her parents Jesus had stated to her, “It’s time.” I’m sure the parents’ hearts welled up with hope and expectation at the thought.
Just what do we compare these experiences with, the only way is with the Bible, so we consider the prophet’s words.
“I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn.” Zechariah 12:10, NASU
Jesus may not visually appear to you but the reality of the resurrection and the hope of His soon return ought to make all of our hearts leap.
If Jesus told the little girl “it’s time” then all I can say is even so L-rd Jesus come!
