Matthew’s resurrection account reports: “He is going ahead of you…there you will see him” (Matthew 28:7). But where, exactly, will I see him?...and When? When will Easter break-in on what’s happening in my life? How can I satisfy the Eternal Craving God has designed into us? As Thomas said, “Unless I see,” Easter has not become real.

The “before and after” of Easter was profound—life-changing; WORLD changing.

But there is an interlude between the world changing event and the moment it touches the “before and after” of our individual lives. A period after the old has passed but before the new becomes apparent and directly experienced. It is called “liminal time.”

Richard Rohr defines liminal time as a "betwixt and between" period, a transitional threshold where we have left one stage of life or understanding but have not yet entered the next. It is a "sacred space" of uncertainty and disorientation—often described as God's waiting room—necessary for transformation, dismantling the old self and fostering deeper trust, humility, and faith.

Our Scriptures suggest how we might practice our faith in God’s Waiting Room— The Spiritual Practices that can lead us to an encounter with the Risen Christ
