The Character of Jesus - IMPACT

Read Mark 1:1-8.

"[John the Baptist says:] I baptize you with water; but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit." (v. 8)

John the Baptist (and Jesus more so) never lift someone unchanged after a personal encounter. They were either mad, sad, or glad after they met these men. Jesus had the ability to baptize with the Holy Spirit!
A character quality that I want to incorporate in my life is IMPACT. I come in contact with people everyday. Are they closer to God or father away after an encounter with me? ...or do they even know that they've encountered me?
