Reply #11: I didn't find Jesus. I called and He came to me.

I hate to say it but my conversion to Jesus was overnight, it was sudden and I guess you could call it a Hallelujah moment. I had a low point in my life at that time. I didn't know who to speak to so I called on Jesus, and He came. It was a fairly long time ago and I'm ashamed to say I can't put my hands on the little New Testament which I wrote in the reasons why I dedicated my life to Jesus at that point onward.

I must state that before that experience I had rejected God, Jesus and all that the Church entails. My family is a Christian family; my sister found Jesus before me and she's younger.

I'm still trying to find my church home... but things will come as God plans in the end, that I know.

In terms of understanding it, it is something that I just can't explain. I personally believe that I had an encounter with Jesus directly. I can't prove it, but it's because of this that I am 110% convinced He exists and that He is the way.

I suppose you can liken it to an experience with a UFO. No-one can prove beyond doubt that UFOs exist, there may be photos... people may say they've been kidnapped by aliens... but there's no proof.

I am sure that people from the 16th and 7th century would see our ways of working as completely alien and supernatural to them. Unless some of us have science degrees the average layperson would not be able to prove that computers, radios, etc work in the way they do. Fortunately we do have people of high intellect who can explain this and it's not voodoo.

Sorry if this doesn't make sense. It's the best I can do to explain at this moment in time.

Mark.
