Famous Christian evangelist and motivational speaker Nick Vujicic shared the same sentiments with James from “The Chosen.”

James’ scene with Jesus received a lot of reactions as they discussed God’s will over handicapped people. It inspired millions and touched the disabled community, including Nick, born with no arms and legs.
“It moved, moved, moved me,” Nick told Dallas Jenkins, director of The Chosen. “I would probably have had a very similar conversation with Jesus if I was him (Little James).”

The conversation with James and Jesus talked about how God uses people despite their disabilities and limits. And it rings true to many.
“I think this is going to speak to everybody because there are people who are convinced that their disability of anxiety will never go away,” he added.
Growing up, Nick did not have it easy. Being born differently attracted negative attention and led him to depression. But God had wonderful plans set out for Nick. And it was more than receiving his desire for arms and legs.
“I realized, more than my arms and legs, my disability is my broken, lost soul.”
Nick now knows his purpose and how his condition can glorify God more than a complete body. “God, yes, use me. Change my circumstance and if You don’t change my circumstance, use my circumstance for what? For the sake of the glory, which is what? So that one more would know that if God can use a man without arms and legs to be His hands and feet, then God can use any willing heart.”

The true miracle
Dallas explains that sometimes, we expect physical miracles to be “God’s story.” “But, just think of the story if you’re doing miracles,” Dallas shared, referring to Jesus’ message to James. “In spite of the fact that you have this handicap, imagine the story then – what you’re able to communicate and that you find joy in spite of your circumstance and that you believe in Me in spite of your circumstances and the story you have to tell.”
“Just because He gives you a physical miracle, it doesn’t mean that you’re going to be closest to Him. The miracle of miracles is abiding in Him and Him abiding in you,” Nick said.
