Jesus was being set up by the Pharisees to perform a miracle (to work) on the Sabbath day. Jesus meets a man in the temple with a deformed hand, and He heals this man. But He did it to show everyone there He is God, and He can do whatever He wants.

Jesus chose to use an adulterous woman, who was divorced 5 times, and because of her a whole town was changed as many believe in Jesus as the Messiah. Divorce has affected many, and it hurts everyone involved in it. That is why God hates divorce. But unlike what many churches teach, divorce doesn't disqualify you to be used by God, or for ministry. Jesus was clear what God's plan was for marriage, and that should be our goal!

The woman Jesus met at the well in the heat of the day, shows us how no matter how we try to distract Jesus from touching our lives, if we keep listening to Him, He will change us in every way. This outcast lady is now used by God to bring a city to Jesus, to believe in Him as the Savior of the World.

Some encounters with Jesus changed lives, but some didn't. This is the story of a rich man who had an encounter with Jesus, but walked away without receiving what he came for, because of his pride. We need to learn from this, so we keep our hearts open to Jesus every day. And He will reward us 100 times for anything we give up for HIm.

The story of Zacchaeus is a cool story of one of the last men Jesus met, before going to the cross for the world. It is a story of a man who was... despised by the people, but chosen by Jesus. A story of repentance, restoration, and salvation. Jesus is more than we could ever dream of.

We all need an encounter with Jesus -- He is the fulfiller, and the one we are all searching for in life. A lady was brought to Jesus, and according to the Law she should have been killed. But instead Jesus showed His grace and love -- Jesus took her punishment, and gave her a new start. We are changed from an encounter with Jesus.
