Oh How We Hoped


Listen Later

This powerful message takes us on a journey down the road to Emmaus, where two disciples walked alongside the risen Christ without recognizing Him. The central question confronts us directly: how often do we fail to see Jesus walking beside us in our own lives? The scripture from Luke 24 suggests that these disciples were blinded not by divine intervention, but by their own circumstances—their dashed hopes, their downcast emotions, and their fixation on what they had expected rather than what God was actually doing. We discover that living in the past, allowing our emotions to control our vision, or clinging too tightly to our own expectations can prevent us from experiencing Christ's presence in the here and now. The beautiful revelation comes when Jesus opens the scriptures to them, causing their hearts to burn within them. This reminds us that God's Word is essential for seeing clearly, for knowing truth rather than just feeling our way through life. Every Sunday is Easter, a celebration of resurrection and new life, and we're invited to approach communion with fresh eyes—not as ritual or habit, but as a profound encounter with the God who moved heaven and earth to be in relationship with us.
