“On the Road to Emmaus” (Luke 24:13-35)<\/strong><\/p>\n

A road is a way to a distant. It is the path for a journey. Our globe has many roads within and people travel on it in reaching a distant, though the aim of the journey differs. Emmaus is the most fortune one since Lord and Savior Jesus Christ blessed it after His resurrection.<\/p>\n

In scripted in the Holy Bible, (Luke 24:13-35), \u201cNow that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.\u00a0They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.\u00a0As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them;\u00a0but they were kept from recognizing him.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>He asked them,\u00a0\u201cWhat are you discussing together as you walk along?\u201d<\/p>\n

They stood still, their faces downcast.\u00a0One of them, named Cleopas,\u00a0asked him, \u201cAre you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat things?\u201d\u00a0he asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbout Jesus of Nazareth,\u201d\u00a0they replied. \u201cHe was a prophet,\u00a0powerful in word and deed before God and all the people.\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>The chief priests and our rulers\u00a0handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him;\u00a0but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel.\u00a0And what is more, it is the third day\u00a0since all this took place. In addition, some of our women amazed us.\u00a0They went to the tomb early this morning. but didn\u2019t find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive.\u00a0\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said to them,\u00a0\u201cHow foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken!\u00a0Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>And beginning with Moses\u00a0and all the Prophets,\u00a0he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther.\u00a0But they urged him strongly, \u201cStay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.\u201d So he went in to stay with them.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it\u00a0and began to give it to them.\u00a0Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him,\u00a0and he disappeared from their sight.\u00a0They asked each other, \u201cWere not our hearts burning within us\u00a0while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures\u00a0to us?\u201d<\/p>\n

They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>and saying, \u201cIt is true! The Lord\u00a0has risen and has appeared to Simon.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two disciples were Luke and Cleopas whom are amongst the 120 family of God. They were the ones who walked along with Lord Jesus Christ after His resurrection without Knowing Him. He made them talk about His salvation.<\/p>\n

The Emmaus Road is the reminder of Lord Jesus Christ\u2019s crusifixation, resurrection and His work salvation. It is the resemblance of Christian Life for us to be reminded about carrying the cross that our Lord was crucified. It is to be reminded about His love and mercy for all human race.<\/p>\n

Luke and Nicodimus did not know Him at first, but when their eyes were opened, they recognized all the things He spoke about. Thus, we shall awake and open our eyes to see all the love and sacrifice made upon the Cross for our salvation. Lord Jesus was crucified for all human race. He had spent three days in the tomb and saved souls before His resurrection. This works is what shall be talked on our path of life.<\/p>\n

Unfortunate to us though as we are busy in our hectic life that we focus on economic, social and political matters that made us forget about our soul. We undergo our routine in our wordiness being ignorant of all the sacrifice that our creator God has paid to give us life in return for His. It is crucial to always remember He is is our life, hope and peace.<\/p>\n

On the road to Emmaus, we talk about Lord and Savior Jesus Chris\u2019s crusifixation and redemption. So dear Brethren, this is what we shall speak about for we shall witness His resurrection and become Christians within His crusifixation.<\/p>\n

May our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be with us in our to life, Amen!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
