God of miracles
We recently got this update from The Jesus Film Project - a ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ International…
A traveling film team was showing “JESUS” in Mozambique, in a spiritually resistant community. The people became engrossed in the film, captivated by Jesus’ words (the Word of God exactly quoted from the Gospel of Luke). They were amazed by His miracles and then appalled by His unexpected, unjust crucifixion.
The film came to the moment when Peter was crying at the empty tomb, before he understood that Jesus had been raised from the dead. The crowd nearest the projector heard a sound, like wings. There was a flash of light and bomb-like burst.
Panic set in. The crowd fled in all directions, screaming, tripping over one another and the equipment. Some people ran so quickly that they left their shoes on the ground. The team leader too was startled. Now his audience was gone. He checked out the equipment…all was okay. There was no sign of an explosion. He walked around the grounds picking up the people’s shoes and belongings, then took the icrophone. “Come back, everyone. Come back. There is nothing wrong. All is okay.”
Slowly the people returned, sat down and settled back in. The team restarted the projector, without incident. The audience realized that Jesus was no longer dead. He was alive, raised from the dead, the victorious Son of God, and Master of all.
What had happened? Witch doctors had walked into the crowd and were in the process of cursing the film team and the projector. The team reported that apparently an angel suddenly appeared and attacked the witch doctors, protecting the message, team and projector. The witch doctors also fled and had not returned.
