1 Kings 19:11-12 NIVThe Lord said, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord , for the Lord is about to pass by."Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord , but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.

• Mark 5:25-34 NIV

And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, because she thought, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed." Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering. At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?" "You see the people crowding against you," his disciples answered, "and yet you can ask, 'Who touched me?' " But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering."

The Scriptures that answer the question “Who is Jesus?” make enormous claims. Those claims are either true, or they constitute one horrendous lie. After honestly examining the Scriptures, “no man can entertain an opinion of indifference regarding Jesus. If he has considered the subject at all, he must worship Christ or crucify him”

Hear God for yourself!
