It’s one of the most honest—and painful—phrases in Scripture.

In this Easter message, we step onto the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13–35), where two disciples are walking away from everything they believed in. Their hope has been shattered, and they can’t yet see that Jesus is walking right beside them.

But resurrection doesn’t begin with certainty—it begins in confusion, grief, and honest conversation. Jesus listens. He walks with them. And in a simple, ordinary moment—breaking bread—their eyes are opened.

This sermon invites us to consider where we might be walking away in our own lives, and how Christ meets us there—not to erase our disappointment, but to transform it. Because resurrection faith isn’t about pretending everything is fine—it’s about finding the courage to turn back, to re-engage, and to trust that the story isn’t over.
