The Road to Emmaus
In the forty days after the resurrection, two disciples walked the seven miles from Jerusalem to Emmaus, talking through everything that had happened, when Jesus himself joined them unrecognized. They poured out their grief and confusion — they had hoped he was the one to redeem Israel, and now the tomb was reported empty. Jesus gently rebuked their slowness to believe and then walked them through Moses and all the Prophets, showing how the whole of Scripture pointed to him. Their eyes were finally opened when he broke bread at the table, and they rushed back to Jerusalem to tell the others. Because the risen Jesus appeared to so many eyewitnesses in flesh and blood, our faith rests not on rumor but on testimony — and Christ is found on every page of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation.
