Walking with Jesus, Even When We Don’t See Him
It was the first day of the week, the day of Jesus’ resurrection. Two of his disciples were walking together, talking about everything that had happened. As they walked along the road, Jesus came and joined them. But somehow, they did not recognize him.
As they talked, the disciples shared the story of Jesus, not realizing they were speaking to him. When they reached the village of Emmaus, Jesus acted as if he were going on ahead. But they urged him to stay and join them for a meal. When they sat down at the table, Jesus took the bread, blessed it, broke it, and gave it to them. It was a familiar moment, something they had seen before. And in that moment, they finally recognized him.
Jesus had been with them all along. This reminds us that Jesus is still with us today. He is with us when we gather, when we share meals, and when we care for one another. Sometimes we recognize him not in words, but in the quiet, meaningful moments that feel full of love and peace.
What We Learned:
- Jesus is with us, even when we don’t recognize it right away
- We can notice Jesus in simple, familiar moments
- Sharing and caring for others helps us see God’s love
- We are never walking alone
We were so happy to have the twins with us on Sunday, and if you were there, you may even have seen the baby chicks. We hope to see you in church again this Sunday.
