Luke, the master storyteller, recounts the risen Jesus’ journey to Emmaus accompanying two disillusioned disciples. This trip is more than a mission to restore the deserting duo; it’s not just a proof of Jesus’ resurrection. The Emmaus episode demonstrates how Jesus is experienced in the new era, after the cross & empty tomb. Supposedly a stranger, Jesus joins the disappointed duo and engages their hopes & fears. He adjusts their inadequate view of his Messianic mission by opening God’s Word igniting their hope. Responding, they invite Jesus to their home, where he transforms an ordinary meal into a sacred Lord’s Supper revealing his true identity.  It is via both these means—the Scriptures and the Sacrament (breaking of bread), through Word and Worship—that Christian believers know and experience the risen Christ today.
