How’s Your Emmaus Walk Going?

Two disheartened disciples were walking the road to Emmaus when Jesus (the Risen Jesus) joined them. As with Mary at the tomb, they didn’t recognize Jesus at first. It was only until they broke bread with Him. To me, we are all walking our own road to Emmaus. The question is do we recognize Jesus walking alongside us?

I know this sounds like a lot of religious mumbo-jumbo. I don’t mean it to be. We are all on a life journey and Jesus is always alongside us. But, again, the question is do we recognize Him?

Look at anyone and Jesus is there. Don’t make judgements about the person. God created each one of us and He is in us, as is the Son God sent to save us. Yes, it’s hard to see Jesus in some people because they obscure Him by their actions. But He is there, in all of us.

The road is pretty dark these days and getting darker. That’s why it’s so important to recognize Jesus because His light always shines. We just need to recognize Him and always know that He is with us.

Enjoy your walk! And be looking for Jesus at your side!

Would You Know Jesus?

Post Easter, we read the story of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35). They are disheartened by Jesus’ death but when Jesus appears to walk with them they don’t even recognize Him. It’s not until they break bread with Jesus that they see Him for who He is.

The question is, do we recognize Jesus? I’m not talking about walking the road to Emmaus over 2,000 years ago, I’m talking about everyday. Do we see Jesus? We should because when you look at anyone, regardless of who it is, you should see Jesus. Really. I’m not kidding!

This is pretty simple, just like how God intended life to be. God created each one of us, and His DNA is in all of us. That means that God’s only Son, Jesus, is in each one of us. The trick is to look past the outer and look into the inner. That is where we will see Jesus.

Try looking at others in a different way. As you walk your own Emmaus road of life, look for Jesus in others. It’s not hard. And this isn’t religious mumbo-jumbo. It’s life. As God intended. Simple.

Have an awesome rest of the week finding Jesus!

Did You Know It Was Jesus?

The two disciples were so engaged in conversation that they failed to recognize Jesus—exactly who they were talking about on their walk to Emmaus! It wasn’t until they slowed down to eat that they saw it was Jesus, and only then when he went through the act of breaking and blessing the bread. How many times did you walk with or by Jesus yesterday and not know it was him? Continue reading “Did You Know It Was Jesus?”
