Law enforcement officer-turned-politician Mark Lamb recounted an amazing story in which he came face to face with Jesus Christ during a podcast appearance with former Navy Seal Shawn Ryan. After Ryan asked Lamb what his most profound spiritual experience was when he traveled to Argentina, the sheriff shared the following encounter with an old man in the South American country.
Setting the scene, Lamb began, “I’ve not told this one to very many people at all. Probably, I don’t even know if my kids will know it. So when they hear it, they’ll, they’ll, they’ll, we were we? There was three of us. I actually normally it’s just two of you, but we happen to be three of us. At that point. I had one guy from Argentina, one guy from America, they were new, and so I was training them, and we’d had a rough day.”
He continued, “Everything had gone wrong that day, like the appointments had all been canceled. And so we’re just like, let’s just go back to the pension, which is the apartment. Let’s go back to the pension, and let’s just call it, call it a day.”
However, an old man who appeared to be in rough shape caught the attention of the group. “And as we were kind of…we cross this road, we see this old man, just old and dirty, and clothes are all tattered, long hair, head down, beard, just old bum.”
Lamb explained that they were presented with a dilemma over whether to help the old man. “So he’s crossing the road, and we get to the other side, and we stop. And we all three look at each other. We’re like, do we just go home, or should we turn around and help this guy? What should we do? And so finally we we said, let’s just go help this guy. So by the time we cross back across the street, he was trying to get up over the curb, and he started to fall.”
After the group turned around the provide the elderly man assistance, Lamb explained how it became an arduous process to walk alongside him. “And it literally takes us 30 minutes or more to walk 30 yards, because this guy can’t walk. He’s just shuffling along. And so by the time we get to this kiosk, the sun has gone down, and now we’re standing under this kiosk, much like we are in this room, and there’s a light above us … none of us had seen the guy’s face.”
However, when Lamb his peers finally saw the man’s face, they were blow away by what they were met with. “So we’re standing there, and he looks up and it’s the face of Christ,” he said, prompting Ryan to exclaim, “Whoa.” Choking up as he continued, Lamb further described the encounter. Clean, clear, doesn’t say anything. And I look at the other two guys with me, and we just looked at each other, and we were just like, what are we seeing?” Moments later, the man put his head down and they never saw his face again.
