LUKE 24:31

 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him, and He disappeared from their sight. - Luke 24:31

What is the meaning of the disappearing?  Is it that it is more important that we know who You are, spending time with You after that is not as important?  That doesn't make sense.  Is it that You just wanted to assure them that it was You - once You had done that You could move on?  That makes a little more sense, since You did just explain everything about yourself to them.  Was it to cherish each and every moment we have with You because we never know when they are going to end?  Again, that's whack - we can talk to You whenever we want to.

So, these guys finally recognize You and You're gone?  Physically.  I guess that's how it is with us.  We recognize who You are, but we can't double check, ask questions, piggyback off some things that we think You said.  We just have to go on in faith - kind of like these guys did.

They knew You were risen - that was enough for them.  Now it was time for them to go on, without the physical You, trusting that the spiritual You would still be with them.

GENESIS 13-18, MATTHEW 5-6

​The winter Metra crowd is a lot different!  People plying music without headphones, talking loudly - it’s like the L! I was looking forward...
