About this episode
This Easter message explores the theme of recognizing Jesus in our lives and the reasons people may miss Him.
Have you ever looked right at someone… and didn’t recognize them?It sounds crazy, but it happens more than you think.And what if that’s not just a social moment… what if it’s a spiritual one? This Easter message explores a powerful question: What if Jesus is closer than you think… and you’ve been missing Him? We look at three reasons people missed Jesus, even after He rose from the dead: • When we’re stuck on what we expected • When pain clouds our perspective• When we demand proof before we trust The truth is, you can be walking with Jesus, talking about Jesus… and still not recognize Him. But Easter reminds us: He’s not gone. He’s alive. And He’s closer than you think.If you’ve ever felt disappointed, confused, or unsure where God is in your life, this message is for you. Bible References:Luke 24:13–35; John 20:11–16; John 20:24–29
