In the heat of the day Abraham rolled out hospitality for what he throught was three human visitors. He was near the oaks of Mamre. He found God &#8212; God manifest &#8212; in others.<br \/>\nThe Emmaus road trip at the end of Luke&#8217;s Gospel shows the presence of God in Jesus&#8217; incarnational presence with us. We find God in Jesus.<br \/>\nThe Lord&#8217;s Supper, we need to remind ourselves, is also a manifest presence of God. In the bread, in the wine, in the event, in the actions, in the atmosphere &#8212; look and we can find the God who, at Pentecost, comes to us to create the community designed for Eikons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where do you find God?
