As a pedestrian I frequently encounter mororists of course but they are in cars and I see the car and only vaguely detect the motorist at the wheel. They are the same person in the car though as they would be if I encountered them walking towards me in the street (albeit perhaps a little more aggressive). Jesus can be encountered in His spiritual power as He can drive nature much as a motorist can drive a car yet it is the same Jesus as was met before He ascended and described in the Gospel of John as He worked a miracle for the disciples then offered them breakfast of fish He had cooked. This same person is encountered by the lucky few spiritually as disciples back then encountered physically in flesh and blood after He had risen from the dead.
