Dinner Reservations - Supper in Emmaus
After the resurrection He walked with us and we thought:
“It felt like a fire burning in us…”
Picture this: ...two disciples (not of the eleven) are traveling the seven miles from Jerusalem to Emmaus. As they walk along, they talk back and forth about the current events, all that has taken place in during recent days....A stranger catches up to them, it's the risen Jesus, but for some reason they don’t recognize Him. Jesus asks, what are y'all talking about? They reply: It’s all about the man named Jesus of Nazareth...
Good Friday sorrow has just been eclipsed by resurrection joy and these two guys are experiencing it first hand. I wonder when in the story the light go on for these two thick-headed guys? Luke’s Gospel tells us that when the three of them began to share a meal, when Christ took some bread, and thanked God, at that very moment, "open-eyed, wide-eyed, they recognized him."
This is so cool - He still opens eyes, points us to and reveals Himself to us
along life’s journey.

Jesus appearing, sometimes in locked rooms. He’s speaking peace and
sending his disciples into the world with a commission to forgive;
This should speak volumes to a #TraumatizedAmerica
