The Amazing Recovery Story Of a Texas Teenager Who Saw Jesus!

17 -year-old Zack Clements, reportedly collapsed during a P.E class class at Victory Life Academy in Brownwood, Texas, and was rushed to the hospital where doctors worked to revive him.

Authorities say that Clement was without a hear beat for 20mins, and was eventually airlifted to Cook Children’s Hospital in Fort Worth where he would not wake up until several days later.

While his quick recovery has been hard to believe, the story he is telling is equally amazing. He tells of his brief encounter with a man he recognized to be Jesus Christ.

“When I was out those 20 minutes, I saw a man who had long ruffled hair and kind of a thick beard, and it didn’t take me long to realize that that was Jesus, 

“I went up to him and he put his hand on my shoulder and he told me everything would be alright and not to worry,” Clements said.

His family is convinced it was a miracle. as his father, Billy Clements, said he knows it’s a difficult story to believe, but it’s the only thing that makes sense.

“For him to wake up and tell us something he experienced like that. It’s just you can’t explain it. It’s not humanly possible to explain it,” said Billy Clements.
