The road to Emmaus

 

Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. Luke 24:13

Dear, reading and meditation of Bible portion the road to emmaus always encourage me to return to the love of Jesus. Are you away from Him because of suffering or any other reasons?.. Below is an excerpt from writings of ken gire.. Pl read.. 

O Lord Jesus speak to me. .touch me!!!!! 

*But where will they go? For now, anywhere. As long as it is away. Away from the rubble of lives that have fallen apart. Lives that seem impossible to rebuild. Futile to even try. So they go to try to sort things out, to try to understand what went wrong and why, and to try to decide where to go next.

 They could take any of several roads. The road north of Jerusalem leads to Ephraim, but that is too far. The road east leads to Jericho, but that is too dangerous. The road south leads to Bethlehem, but that is too glaring a reminder of all they are wanting to forget. And so they take the road west. The road to Emmaus. The road to Emmaus is the road we take after we’ve been to Golgotha. It’s the road we take when the other roads we’ve taken turn out to be dead ends. It’s the road out of town, the road to getting away from it all. They leave Jerusalem because there is nothing there for them anymore.  So they left.

 But Jesus was walking with them.Then book by book, beginning with Genesis, Jesus rekindles the fire in their lives that suffering has all but extinguished. Step by step, the wood begins to dry. Verse by verse, the sparks find places to live. And by the time they reach Emmaus, their hearts are burning.

The three of them stop at the outskirts of town. The sun has continued on ahead of them, leaving an etching on the horizon where there were once hills. Jesus starts to continue on too, but they beg Him to stay. Which He does. They find a place to stay, and they sit together and start to eat, when suddenly . . . The stranger is the Savior! As soon as they recognize him, though, He vanishes. Though life had caved in on these two men, enough light came through the fallen debris and airborne dust to give them hope. They couldn’t see everything. But they could see Him.And that was enough.

🙏 Dear Lord Jesus, Thank You that whatever road I take to get away from the pain in my past, that is the road where You meet me.Thank you that even as I am walking away, You are walking after me. Wanting to draw near. Offering Your companionship. Hoping to clear up the confusion in my life. Thank You for your Word that sheds so much light on whatever road I take. Without it, how would I have ever found my way? Or my way back? Help me to be sensitive to the way you speak to me through that Word. 

Show Yourself to me, even if it is only for a moment. For Your presence means more to me than my understanding. And seeing You when life doesn’t make sense is better than not seeing You when it does. 

Thank You Jesus! Hallelujah! Amen

Abide with me Lord Jesus......
