A gap existed in our knowledge of God. To fill the gap, Jesus took the show on the road, that is, to the road from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection. He descended from the penthouse of the Kingdom of God to the basement in order to help us ascend from the basement to the penthouse. He transported from heaven to earth the raw material with which we can fill the gap in our knowledge of God.
The greatest obstacle blocking us from participating in the new Exodus is our superficial understanding of God
On what foundation do you rest your answer to the question, ‘Who is God?”. On what foundation do you build your understanding of God?
Can you pinpoint the location where Jesus deposited the answer to the question, ‘Who is God?”?
Whenever you fall into confusion - whenever you become disoriented - whenever you lose your way - whenever your understanding of God becomes cloudy, find your footing on the road from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection. Stability in our understanding of God is found on the road from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection. Regain your balance by returning to the foundation upon which the edifice of Christianity is built. Return to the rock that the builders rejected (Matthew 21:42) .
The doctrine of the Real, but faceless, Presence of God is true - absolutely, entirely and positively. However, it is not true enough. It barely skims the surface of God. It hits the atmosphere of our understanding of God and bounces off. It is a tangent. It contributes little to our understanding of God.
