How do we feel when our world comes crashing in upon us? How do we react when our hear ts are broken?
On the after noon of our Lord’s resurrection, two men walked on the lonely road to Emmaus They had not yet heard the news of our Lord s resurrection and felt devastated Their Lord had died a tragic death on a cross and they were in a state of shock As they were walking along and talking the living Christ joined with them Yet they were so caught up in their emotions “their eyes were kept from recognizing him” (Luke 24:16)

As Jesus walked with them He engaged them in conversation about what they were feeling He listened to them He called them out for not knowing what the Scr iptures said about Him Yet, as He patiently explained things to them; they listened to Him As they approached the village to which they were headed, He acted as if He were going on His way They were so fascinated by Him; they urged Him to fellowship and eat with them He accepted their invitation It was while He broke bread with them that their eyes were opened to His living presence (Luke 24:31) “Just then He disappeared from their sight and they asked each other ‘Were not our hear ts bur ning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?’” (Luke 24:32)
TAKE AWAYS:
1 When we are grieving Jesus is present with us even though we may not be aware of His living presence
2 Love takes the initiative Jesus knows our situation and engages us in conversat on
3 Talking with God and listening to God is the highest for m of holy conversation
