Indeed, in the final analysis, reflection on His resurrection gives us hope that truth and love will prevail at the end. Crucifixion without resurrection is tragic but resurrection without crucifixion has no power.
Why we don't feel presence of God more than early Christians and Apostles?
We cannot feel or see God because of our brokenness and pain from the consequence of our sins.  We live in double obscurity of sin and ignorance. When we are hurt, wounded, disappointed and disillusioned, how can we see God at work in our lives? 

Precisely, many have given up on God because of the circumstances they are in.  Those who are sick, abandoned, unloved and in financial difficulties, find it hard to believe in a loving God.  Indeed, many young people who come from dysfunctional families or have parents who do not care for them wonder whether a loving God exists.  If God does not care about their lives, why should they care whether he exist?

Today, God is absent in the lives of many people, even believers.  This is the result of secularism and materialism.  God is not real and many cannot feel Him, much less see Him.  God has been taken out of public life.  Because God is not felt or experienced, man needs to assume full control of his own life.  He thinks science and technology can solve all the problems of humanity.  Yet, he has never learnt his lessons.  The world cannot solve the spiritual and moral needs of humanity. More so with advancement of science and intelligent machines Men are devising ways to play God in some domains.

Although we have made great strides in technological advancement, yet, the world is not any happier or united.  On the contrary, increased power only threatens the unity and peace of humanity, as people use power for their own interests and not for others. 

modern society now use our intellect and reasoning to give excuse to put God behind our priorities and overtime going to church or saying a prayer is just a routine or hand me down tradition to many.
The more intellectual a society is, the more we use our heads and reasoning then heart and compassion. Man is made out of love, not reason.
