9th September 2012.

Last day of the Paralympics today and London 2012. Jane continues on the series in prayer and spirituality looking at the knowledge of the presence of God via the story of the road to Emmaus and the encounter by two of Jesus disciples in Luke 24:13-35. In this incident the disciples fail to recognise who Jesus is and this is true for us as we do not always recognise the presence of God in the everyday. Using the example of Brother Lawrence Jane looks at the cornerstone of the implications of the incarnation of Jesus , God’s presence that does not leave us for a second. In looking at the example of Elijah God’s presence is discovered through voice and word. While stressing as well that just as God was not in the wind, earthquake and fire so too that creation is in God as creator not a pantheism that simply sees God in creation. Although we have many experiences of God it is “ in these last days God has spoken to us through his Son “( Hebrews 1:2) and founded on Jesus promise that “ I am with you always “ is taking time to stop and listen as Jesus reveals himself and speaks to us by name.
