The road to Emmaus is not a one time event. It is the pattern of the Christian life. We walk with Jesus, even when we do not recognise him. We bring our questions, our doubts, our disappointments, and we invite him into our story. We listen as he shows us how the whole of Scripture points to his resurrection. And then, in the simple act of sharing a meal, of welcoming a stranger, of taking, blessing, breaking, and giving, our eyes are opened. We see that death has been defeated, that a new world has begun, and that the risen Christ is walking with us every step of the way.
