Luke 24
During this week we have read about the crucifixion of Jesus and now we finish the
gospel with the resurrection and a quick word about the ascension. These two disciples on the road to Emmaus were like all the other disciples: no-one had grasped that Jesus was going to rise from the dead in that very real and physical way. They were also like a number of them in that they met Jesus, albeit without realising it initially. What a marvellous phrase “our hearts were burning within us” when they walked with him and listened to the Scriptures being opened. Let’s pray that is the experience of every present-day disciple of Jesus!
