The Two Best Posts I've Ever Read on GLP!

I've read literally many thousands of posts on GLP over the years, and these 2 posts are by far the best ones I ever read. One was posted by an AC user and the other by member Troubled Waters several years ago.

Here are the 2 posts below. Enjoy!

"By the grace of God I was privileged to see Jesus Christ in a vision. This vision took place when I was visiting a nursing home in El Paso, Texas. It occurred during the early 1980s. I had come to preach and minister to the elderly. On this day, I was rather discouraged.

As the people were singing songs, I closed my eyes and asked, "Lord, is it worth me coming to this nursing home to visit and preach to the people? They don’t seem to be improving." After praying this simple prayer, I opened my eyes, and to my astonishment I saw the Lord.

I didn’t see Him in his traditional garments; instead I saw Him sitting in a wheelchair with a blanket over His legs. There was suppose to be an elderly man sitting there, but instead it was the Lord. As I looked across the room, all I could see was Jesus. I saw Jesus in the place of all the people. He wore a nurse’s uniform. He sat in a chair where there was a lady supposed to have sat. I could not see anyone’s face. I only saw the Lord.

As I looked in astonishment, I heard the Lord say, "Whatever you have done for one of the least of these, you have done unto me." The vision ended.

I knew that the Lord was telling me to continue to visit these wonderful people, because it was like visiting the Lord. Everywhere I’ve gone I have tried to have this same attitude. Whoever I preach to, I see Christ in them."

A young girl named Sally told the story of what happened in her seminary class. She had a very unique professor who would often use physical illustrations. Well, Sally walked into the class one day and saw they were in for a fun day.

On the wall was a big target, and on a near by table were many darts - Mr Smith told the students to draw a picture of someone who they disliked, or someone who had made them angry, and he would allow them to throw darts at that persons picture.

Sally's friend drew a picture of one who had stolen her boyfriend, another drew a picture of his little brother - Sally drew a picture of a former friend, putting great detail into her drawing, even the pimples on her face. The class then lined up and began throwing darts.

Some threw with such force that their target was ripping apart. Sally looked forward to her turn, but was filled with disappointment when Dr Smith said, because of time he asked the students to return to their seats... and Sally sat thinking how angry she was b/c she didn't have a chance to throw any of her darts at her target.

Then Dr Smith began to remove the target from the wall - underneath the target was a picture of Jesus. Needless to say a hush fell over the room, as each student viewed the mangled picture of Jesus. Holes, jagged marks covered His face and His eyes were pierced.

It was then that Dr Smith said only these words... assuredly I say to you, in as much as you have done this unto the least of my brethren, you have done it unto me. No other words were necessary, as tears filled the eyes of the students as they viewed the mangled picture of Jesus.
