I like to think of Christ’s presence during this time as I did when I was learning it.. while I was taking piano lessons as a kid.
I had a great piano teacher, but at some point (after a few years) I had to leave and move on. I went on to perfect the things I had learned and experiment with different styles and recognize challenges with the eye of an experienced and wiser player.
My instructor didn’t disappear. 2 or 3 times I would meet with him again and compare notes, play some piano and say thanks.
To be honest..I don’t care why. And frankly, it is not within the scope of a believer to question his motives. As the incarnation of God the Father, isn’t that within his prerogative and not subject to questioning?
