Luke 24: 13-35 Jesus’ appearance on the road to Emmaus.
Last Sunday we heard the monologue of a woman baking bread and talking about the happenings after the resurrection. The conversation was about the people on the road to Emmaus and how a stranger joined the group and what he had to say about the events that had happened in the past weeks, The arrival of Jesus to Jerusalem and how the crowds turned against him, How upset the Romans were when they found the empty tomb, and how Jesus followers were mystified over the appearance of Jesus . The stranger talked to them and then they invited him to have supper with them, it was when he blessed the supper that they then realized the were in the presence of the Lord. They decided the next day to return to Jerusalem and pass the word around to Jesus followers that he had come to join them. It is strange how God works, in such wondrous, mysterious ways that we aren’t meant to fully understand. “It’s a little like baking bread, with simple ingredients of flour, water, salt, and some yeast. It magically becomes something wonderful. And in the breaking and sharing of that bread, we are nourished, strengthened, and loved into being by the One who calls us beloved! And isn’t that miraculous.!”
