Welcome to Every Thought Captive. I’m Phil Steiger, pastor at Quail Lake Community Church.
There are times in our lives when it seems that God is hidden from us, and as the Old Testament prophet puts it, the heavens seem like brass. In Luke 24, we read the story of two disciples taking a trip on the very day that Christ rose from the grave. These two disciples, however, did not believe that Jesus was alive.
You see, it was nearly the end of the third day and they had not yet seen the risen Messiah. Jesus told them he would rise on the third day, but here it was, nearly nightfall, and they had not seen it. To them, Jesus was dead and God had hidden himself. Part of the problem for these disciples is that they lacked faithful patience. It turns out that Jesus was right there with them, but they were unable to wait on God and his perfect timing. Waiting on God is sometimes hard, but always necessary.
