God comes to us in Jesus in surprising ways when we least expect it.

Our reading for Wednesday evening is the Gospel of Luke 24:36b-48

I wonder what we would do if all the things we have thought and said and believed about God are contradicted by the things we actually experience in life? Could the disciples still be able to believe that Jesus was indeed the Messiah? Perhaps the only way that this could happen would be through a new beginning. It was in the midst of such uncertainty, questioning, and hopelessness that Jesus came to them, walked along with them, stood beside them, and opened up for them the possibility of renewal. And so the story continues beyond even the resurrection in Luke 24:36b-48. The story goes on not because the disciples found within themselves a will to press on into the future. The story goes on because the resurrected Jesus came and sought his doubting, questioning, failing, and hopeless followers. Therein lies our hope. God comes to us in Jesus in surprising ways when we least expect it.(The Voice, Christian Resource Institute, Third Sunday of Easter April 22, 2012)
