Imagine...

For a dozen years, you've gone out in public...and the only attention you're paid is so that people can keep their distance and utterly ignore you.

No one talks to you or touches you in any kind of positive fashion.

I don't think any of us would wish that on our worst enemy, yet a real person experienced that very thing.

That person had a face-to-face encounter with God in the flesh, and it was altogether positive.

The narrative is worth everyone's close study.
