No one who encounters Jesus ever remains unchanged, as each experience with Him has a transformative impact on individuals. His presence, teachings, and actions challenge people to reconsider their beliefs, values, and lives, leading to profound personal growth and renewal.
According to Philip Yancey in "The Jesus I Never Knew," this transformative power of Jesus is a central theme. He emphasizes that meeting Jesus is not a casual encounter but one that radically alters a person's heart and direction. No one who meets Jesus ever stays the same.
