Contemplative Bible Reading

Luke 24:16 (New Living Translation)

But God kept them from recognizing him (Jesus).

This is from the (hi)story of the men walking to Emmaus with Jesus. They didn’t recognize Jesus. From this verse, God prevented them from recognizing Jesus.

Does God do the same today? Does Jesus walk among us from time to time, but we don’t recognize Him because God the Father prevents it?

I’m just asking the questions. I don’t have the answers.

I do believe that angels come among us, but we rarely if ever recognize them. I can’t prove it, but given the frequency that angels visit people as recorded in the Bible, I believe it still happens.
