On the same day of the Resurrection, Jesus meets two unimportant men on the road to Emmaus. Neither of the men recognize Him. Jesus, however, walks with them on this journey and explains the Scriptures concerning Him to them. Let's see what we can learn from this dramatic account of revelation!

Walking is steady, consistent, and reliable. That's what we should aspire to be in our faith. If we walk in a steady, consistent, and reliable manner, we can have the full assurance that we are obeying God's commandments!

It is here, for the first time in John's Gospel, that Jesus declares His own messiahship. And it's not to the religious elite in Jerusalem; it's to a sinful Samaritan woman. Here too is His declaration that true worship will now happen in a place of spirit and truth.

Although we did discuss the Resurrection last week, this time we shall approach it from a different perspective. There are some significant evidences that we have for the Resurrection and why it indeed happened. Let's have a look at what they are!

Whenever people stray close to God's truth and love, they experience a stable society. Though they may not know His whole truth, simple things like the 10 Commandments at the centre of their moral fabric ensures a well-functioning society. How much greater is it for those who know His whole truth and love! Grace, mercy, and peace with each other and with ourselves

What does the Resurrection mean for us? It means just about everything! Let's learn some lessons about our new life in the Resurrection of Jesus Christ!

Grace is undeserved favour; emphasis on 'undeserved'. Do we take God's grace for granted? How often do we start believing that grace is something that we deserve? He has bestowed grace upon us who are completely undeserving. Our attitude should be humble submission and gratitude!

Jesus is the Good Shepherd and His sheep listen to His voice. Sheep will not go unless they are led by their shepherd. Let's learn a little bit about what it means to call Jesus our Good Shepherd!

Idols are tricky things. They creep in all over. Sometimes, we start worshipping 'holy' weekends like Easter, gospel music, wooden crosses in our houses, etc. Sometimes, we even make gods out of our relationships, careers, future plans, etc. Let's stop with the idols and make sure we're only worshipping Almighty God!

At this stage, the Samaritan woman still doesn't understand that she needs a spiritual change for living water. Even after Jesus brings up her private sinful life, she diverts the conversation to secondary theological issues. What we see in this Samaritan woman is very much like what we perhaps see in our own lives and in the Church. How do you respond to Jesus's offer of living water?
