3rd Sunday of Easter

On the road to Emmaus Jesus walks up alongside two of his disciples, though He’s not recognized for who He is but thought to be a stranger.  This Stranger begins to unpack for them the Scriptures and how they foretell and prefigure the Christ.  The hearts of these two disciples are set on fire as Jesus teaches them, though they don’t fully realize it in the moment.  It’s only at the end of the day, in the breaking of the bread, that they recognize Who was with them, and then Jesus vanishes from their sight.  Take a walk on the road to Emmaus, let Jesus draw close, even if you don’t recognize Him at first, let Him teach you about the Scriptures and Himself, let Him set your heart on fire!
