Read MoreHave you ever believed something to be true and then experienced it and knew it to be true? There’s this interplay between faith and experience that builds within us a confidence to follow Jesus even when it’s hard, confusing, unpopular, and unpleasant. Because once we’ve truly experienced Jesus, who else would we follow?

Read MoreIt would be easy to go this whole summer and talk about historical stories from the Bible about Jesus without ever considering our own personal encounter with him.

In John 1:29–39, John the Baptist points to Jesus and says, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” Before we look at how people encounter Jesus, we must first see who Jesus is. His heart, His mission, and His purpose are revealed from the very beginning: Jesus is the Lamb of God, the Son of God, and the One who comes to save. Simply put, Jesus encounters BEGIN with HIM.
