On the Road to Emmaus
Luke 24:13–35
The risen Jesus walks with two disciples who don't recognize Him.
The Story
On Easter Sunday evening, two disciples were walking from Jerusalem to a village called Emmaus, sad and confused. A stranger joined them and explained the Scriptures to them — how the Messiah had to suffer and rise. When they reached the village, they invited Him to stay. At supper, He took bread, blessed it, broke it — and they recognized Him! It was Jesus. Then He vanished.
The Lesson
Sometimes Jesus walks with us even when we don't recognize Him. He is known to us especially in the Eucharist — in the breaking of the bread.
