Jesus Isn’t Contained in Our Boxes

Read a post today by Frank Viola.  He mentions the road to Emmaus, so I thought I'd had it here.


Do you remember the disciples who walked on the road to Emmaus? Their hopes were shattered by Jesus’ horrible death. Suddenly, the resurrected Christ began walking beside them, yet their eyes were blinded from recognizing Him.
However, when He engaged in the very simple gesture of breaking bread (something He had done frequently before them), their eyes were opened.
He then quickly disappeared from their sight.
These stories hold a critical insight. You cannot cling to the Christ you know today. He will vanish from your midst. Jesus Christ is an elusive Lover. Seeking Him is a progressive engagement that never ends. He doesn’t dance to our music. He doesn’t sing to our tune.

May our God box be forever expanding.  After devoting most of his life to spreading the gospel, the apostle Paul still wanted to know Christ more. Amen!!
