Yesterday, the preacher talked about the folks who encountered Jesus, on the walk from Jerusalem to Emmaus. It's just really too bad that this story is usually discussed on the first Sunday after Easter. The Emmaus Walk is such a terrific story and unfortunately attendance on the first Sunday after Easter is always REALLY down. Some pastors like to take the Sunday after Easter off, and some even like to "give" their women that Sunday for Women's Day. Thanks guys, but no thanks. We're on to you!!!
Anyway, talk about your original Faith Journey! Wow! Speaking with Jesus... Not recognizing Him.... Showing a stranger hospitality.... The wonder of recognition... And, sharing the Faith with others. There must be ten or twelve sermons in those 22 verses of Luke.
It's a wonderful story. Were you there to hear it????
Good and gracious God. Your life fills us with wonder. Your grace is there for us to recognize and receive. Come into our hearts and fill us with your love. Give us strength to share your word in our every day lives.
