I had been challenged last week thinking about the gap and seemed to more focused on it being a place where Jesus isn't or at least isn't recognised so my thoughts were draw to the Emmaus road encounter where the disciples failed to recognise Jesus because of the darkness of their percieved situation. Talking to Roy after the talk he said and I agree that often we can ask Jesus to lift us out of the hard places/situations when in reality Jesus will climb in with us and then help us to move out as we begin to recognise Him and listen to what he has to say about the issue. Jesus drew near to the disciples on the road to Emmaus and listened to all they had to say, their hurts and heartbreaks. Gradually he turns their thinking around and eventually they realise who is with them and believe once again.
