For the disciples, the first problem of Easter was a recognition problem. On the road to Emmaus, two disciples didn’t realize that Jesus was in their presence the whole time. 2000 years later and we still have the same problem in the church. We don’t always recognize Jesus when he’s in our midst. So what’s the solution? According to Jesus, sometimes the key to seeing what’s in front of you is looking back on what’s behind you. Sometimes the key to seeing the future is by remembering the past.
