We talked tonight about the passage from Luke's gospel 24:13-35 where Jesus appeared to the two disciples walking on the road to Emmaus after the Resurrection. The amazing thing is that even though the disciples had already heard reports of the resurrection, they were still downcast (v. 17). It wasn't until they actually experienced the resurrected Christ and their eyes were opened that they were transformed.
So many in our world, even in the Church, have yet to really experience the resurrected Christ--and to have their eyes opened. Our vision for Emmaus Road Church is to be a place, a people, a church, where people coming into a life-transforming experience with Jesus Christ--where their eyes are opened to the reality that He is there, and has been there with them all along.
To that end, we'll be meeting again Sunday night, May 10th at 6 p.m. The address is 2614 Central Avenue just west of Douglans Road.
Hope to see you there.
By the way, pray for me (Andy) as I perform my uncle's funeral this week. He and my aunt were there for my family when my father was killed in a car accident. I pray that I can bring some of Christ's hope and peace to them now.
