MISSING HIM!

MISSING HIM!


It is FUNNY how
God can be WITH US=
How Jesus can be
In our MIDST=
And we can MISS the signs


That is the case today
WHEN two of his disciples
Are walking along


Jesus JOINS THEM!=and they never
NOTICE it was him
Until he is gone


“........While he was with them
At table


He took bread
Said the blessing-
Broke it
And gave it to them=


With that their eyes
Were opened
And they RECOGNIZED HIM........” Luke 24:30-31


It is PUZZLING
How two disciples
Can meet and talk
With the RISEN LORD
Yet not recognize him


But how often
Do we MISS
The presence of Jesus


Right in our midst=
Right in the MIDST
Of another beautiful day
A beautiful
CONVERSATION with a friend=
Or when we are IN PRAYER?


Accompanying us=MISSING HIM!


“And these signs
Will ACCOMPANY those
Who believe


In my name
They will drive out demons-
They will speak
In new tongues........” Mark 16:17


“Desire without knowledge
Is not good--------
How much more


Will hasty feet
MISS THE WAY!” Proverbs 19:2


They talked about important things
Including crucifixion=
And death=
He even EXPLAINED
SCRIPTURE to them


He was there=
Yet they could
NOT SEE HIM


But aren't we just
Like them=
MISSING HIM!


Even when we pray=
Even when we are
Walking the walk
DON'T WE MISS
God and Jesus=
Don't we miss their presence


UNTIL it dawns on us
And we wake up=
HOW BLIND can we be?
Until it all
APPEARS to us


“When Christ
Who is your life=APPEARS


Then you also
Will APPEAR with him
In glory” Colossians 3:4


WHEN it all
DAWNS on us=
When the bread is broke-
And the wine is poured=
We will NO LONGER MISS HIM


We will stretch out out hands
And then he will be
RIGHT THERE with us
At the table


In the names of Jesus=and our ALWAYS PRESENT FATHER
