We do not have a God who remains at a distance from us. Not a distance of silence or space, altitude or attitude. Instead, He is a God who constantly pursues us and seeks to draw near. He is not satisfied with any gap that stands between us. So, He speaks into it, He pours out His Spirit into it, He sends His people into it with His power and His blessing, He even took on human flesh and stepped into the Gap Himself. But still He was not satisfied… because the Gap still remained. So, on Easter, in Jesus, He closed it, so that now, in Christ, there is nothing that has to separate us from the love of God. He has died for us, but now, He is Risen, and the Gap is no more!
