To Americans, the name Jesus is reserved to the Lord. This is not so in Spanish speaking countries where it is freely given to others as well, but true to my background I sometimes found it odd. One day, I was looking for Gomez and when I knocked a voice from behind the door asked who I wanted to see. I replied, "Is Jesus there?"
In more than one sense, the answer was obvious. Of course he was, and if Gomez was not there the other certainly was. He was in that house and every other. He is behind every door and in every street. Sometimes he is hard to find, but he is there. When he is harder to find, it may mean we should look harder and be more willing to recognize him as he shows who he is.
