This story in Luke 24:13-35 captures the human struggle to make sense of confusing events that happen in life. The setting is in the quiet rural countryside as the two men walk along…showing that God’s Presence and revelation can be found in our ordinary everyday life…and that faith can be forged in those hushed moments of quiet reflection. Soon Jesus joins them as they travel and listens as they explain the recent happenings. He then starts to explain & interpret the Scriptures in the fulfillment and unity of prophecy concerning the Messiah. (Luke 24:27) And methodically, Jesus takes them through the Old Testament showing them the promises and foreshadowing of Himself and His earthly mission. In a way then, we are all on that road to Emmaus… traveling on life’s often confusing path. But we also need to remember that God will always meet us in our confusion, grief, and uncertainty as He walks steadily beside us.
