But Now: Before and After Meeting Jesus: "Before" and "After" Spiritual ‘’Photos’’ of Bible Heroes

 "Before" and "After" Spiritual ‘’Photos’’ of Bible Heroes

Today, I want to remember several biblical heroes who had "before" and "after" ‘’spiritual photos. ’’

Saul
Before: A blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent man
After: A fervent preacher of the Gospel.

Zacchaeus
Before: A dishonest tax collector
After: A man repenting of his sins and giving generously to the poor.

Mary Magdalene
Before: A woman possessed by seven demons
After: A devoted follower of Jesus and a witness of His resurrection.

The Samaritan Woman
Before: A woman living in sin
After: A witness of Jesus who shared her encounter with Him and led many in her city to believe in Him.

The Demon-Possessed Man in the Region of the Gadarenes
Before: A man possessed by a legion of demons
After: Completely changed, sitting at Jesus' feet, clothed and in his right mind, eager to follow Jesus.

These heroes' lives serve as powerful reminders of the transformative power of encountering Jesus. Just as they experienced radical change, we too can be transformed by His love and grace.
