The lord said, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by," Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was no in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. The a voice said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"
1 King 19:11-13
Don't look for Jesus among the dead teachers of the world.
Don't look for Jesus among the good examples.
Don't look for Him among the heroes
Where do we look for Jesus? We look for Him in His Living Word and in the hearts of believers where He dwells; we look for Him among the sinners who confess their need of a Savior; we look for Him among the lowly, the unlovely, unloved, unsung. Where do we look for happiness and joy? There's only one place---in Jesus. Where do we look for security? God is the only secure thing in our world. Where do we look for nourishment and growth? We need to find it among fellow believers in a church, and from feasting on His Word.
