But We Had Hoped
Read Acts 2:14a, 36-47; Psalm 116:11-16; 1 Peter 1:13-25; Luke 24:13-35
The Third Sunday of Easter (Year A)
But We Had Hoped
On this Third Sunday of Easter, we find ourselves walking a strangely familiar road—the road to Emmaus. It’s a road marked not just on a map, but etched into the experience of every human heart that has known disappointment, confusion, or the quiet temptation to give up hope.
If we listen closely, we recognize this road by a single, haunting phrase: “But we had hoped.” These are the words we speak when expectations collapse, and faith feels uncertain. And yet, it is precisely on this road that the risen Jesus draws near, often unrecognized, gently restoring what we thought was lost. Today, we walk that road again—together.
