What are you struggling with right now?

A little boy sits staring at a framed picture of his father, who has been away on military duty for some time now. The boy begins to cry, and his mother, seeing that he is upset, asks, Whats wrong? I want daddy to come out of the frame, he says.

Have you ever felt like that in your relationship with God, like Hes disconnected from the situations of your life and you want Him to come out of the frame?

Well in the Lord Jesus Christ, thats exactly what God has done. When Jesus took on human flesh, God stepped out of the frame and dwelled among us. In The Difference Jesus Makes, Pastor H.B. Charles Jr. walks us through stories found in the Gospel of Mark to highlight the truth that Jesus is present in all things and Lord over all things, including the details of our lives.

No matter what we are facing, we can trust Jesus to care for us, even if he doesnt fix our every problem. The Difference Jesus Makes shows us who Jesus is, why we can trust Him, and what that looks like day to day.

I was in junior high school the first time a girl gave me her phone number I - photo 4

I was in junior high school the first time a girl gave me her phone number. I did not ask for the number. As our families had dinner together that Sunday evening, it was obvious that I liked her. But I did not have the guts to ask for her number. I didnt even know that was what you were supposed to do. But she saved the day. Before we left the restaurant, the young lady told me she needed a pen. I borrowed one from somebody and gave it to her. She then wrote her number on a piece of paper, folded it, and handed it to me.

Call me sometime, she said.

I was so blown away by what just happened, I didnt respond. But I had every intention of calling her. There was more important business, however, for me to tend to first.

I was the preachers kid. And there was nothing cool about me back then (or now, for that matter). I hung out with the two most popular boys in school. But I was only popular because I hung out with Billy and Michael. We made an unbeatable team for three-on-three games at lunch. They were able to capitalize on our schoolyard fame. The girls loved Billy and Michael. I, on the other hand, made the girls nervous when I came around. But I now had chips to get into the big game. I finally had a girls phone number.

I didnt have a sense of fashion back then (or now, for that matter). If it was clean and did not itch, thats what I put on. But that Sunday night, I laid out my clothes. I ironed my pants and shirt. And when everything was in place, I put the folded paper with the girls number in my back pocket.

The next day, at just the right time, I reached into my pocket and pulled out the number. Whats this? I asked. Oh, yeah. This is that girls phone number. I forgot I had it.

You would have thought I just did a mesmerizing magic trick. The guys all gathered around and began to ooh and aah. They asked me questions about the girl. They asked me when I got the number. They had all kinds of questions. And I joyfully answered them all. It was great, so great that I couldnt let this be a one-time show. But I knew I would not be getting another girls number any time soon. So I had to milk this situation for all it was worth. I kept the number in my pocket for days. And whenever I had a new audience, I would go through my routine. It wowed the crowd every time.

Eventually, the multiple shows took their toll on my key prop. The folded piece of paper ripped. But I refused to let that end my performance. I simply got another piece of paper and wrote the girls number on it. And the show continued. But it was just a show. I impressed all the guys in school with a number that I never used. The pretty young lady who gave it to me was a year older than I. But my father said she was too mature for me. So he did not allow me to talk to her. In fact, I was not allowed to talk to any girls on the phone at the time. Dad said I wasnt ready. I had been strutting around the schoolyard for days bragging about a number from a person I had no relationship with.

I can look back at my boyhood shenanigans and laugh. But that experience also troubles me. I dont want that to be my experience with Jesus.

The Lord Jesus Christ has reached out to us in His incarnation, taking on flesh and becoming one of us. And He has given us His number, if you will. He has given us the Word of God by which we can know Him better. Many of us carry it around with us. We bring it up in conversation to impress others. But we do not have a real, life-changing relationship with Jesus. Is that you? Are you professing something you do not possess? Have you experienced the difference Jesus makes?

The goal of this book is to show you from the Word of God that Jesus is worthy of your trust in every situation. No matter what is going on in your life, Jesus can make the difference.

I endeavor to press this case by retelling a series of miracles Jesus performed, as recorded in the gospel of Mark (chapters 2, 45). Most of these miracles follow a long day of ministry, in which Jesus taught the crowds the parables of the kingdom of heaven (Mark 4:133). These parables affirm that Jesus is the Messiah-King, the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and promises. And these parables assert the certainty of the kingdom of heaven, regardless of how things in the world may look to the unbelieving eye.
