It has been said that if you know Jesus for what He has done, but you have not seen Him, then your Lord is too small. Jesus does appear to us, but we often times don't recognize Him. Jesus appeared to Mary at the tomb and she asked Him what He had done with the body of Jesus. Jesus walked with the two on the Road to Emmas, yet they didn't recognize Him till He went on ahead of them on the road. Jesus appeared to Peter after being risen to again tell him to cast his net on the other side. Jesus appeared to Paul on the road to Damascus, yet even though he was traveling with a company, nobody else saw Him. So it is with the Lord. The unregenerate He many not appear to, but if you are a believer who is going to heaven, then put on your spiritual eye-glasses and await His appearing.
Daily Prayer: Lord Jesus, when we don't recognize you, it is either unbelief or not expectantly awaiting your appearing that steers us wrong. Forgive us Lord. Let us ready our heart, our mind, and most of all our eyes to be anxious about your near return. Amen.
