On the road to Emmaus, two disciples encounter the risen Christ and are forever changed. Jesus meets them in their processing and hopelessness, and reveals Himself to them in explaining the Scriptures and the breaking of bread. For believers today, Christ reveals Himself in the same way, and encourages us to walk together by faith as His people; because recognizing Jesus is just the beginning to a life of discipleship.

This Sunday at Emmaus, we continue our Advent series Hopes & Fears by turning our attention to one of the most overlooked figures in the Christmas story: Joseph.His quiet strength, steady faith, has more to teach us than we might think—especially in a season full of heightened expectations. If what has come your way isn't what you had in mind, you can probably learn a thing or two from our guy Joseph.
OUR Easter Talk has three parts: Part 1: The Story of Two Disciples; Part 2: New Jerusalem Is Coming Down; Part 3: The 5th Problem in the Corinth Church. Backgrounder: Before His crucifixion, Jesus was in Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover (a traditional feast commemorating the Jews' liberation from slavery in Egypt). Jesus' followers welcomed Him waving palms (now celebrated as Palm Sunday). Two followers of Jesus, Cleopas, and a friend, left their home in Emmaus and went to Jerusalem also to celebrate the Passover. Even before the day of the Passover feast, Jesus, accused of rebellion against the Roman Empire that colonized Israel, was arrested by Roman soldiers and eventually crucified Him. Because their Master was crucified, the two followers of Jesus were so devastated that they decided to walk back to their home in Emmaus. Along the way, Jesus, then already Resurrected from death, appeared and walked with the two followers–who did not recognize Jesus. Talk 1 of our Lenten Feast Talk points out that The Walk to Emmaus is a symbol of someone walking away from God and the person's spiritual family. Messy Saint Talk 1: Confused Army Talk 2: Proud About Sin Talk 3:Correct But Still Self-Centered Talk 4:Gifted But Divisive Talk 5:Walk Back to Jerusalem Messy Saints Love Thy Neighbor (Even if They Drive You Nuts) Solving the problems in 1 Corinthians Talk 5: Walk Back to Jerusalem Notes: To recognize Jesus, the followers–and we, to-day–need to go back to Jerusalem. When Jesus walked with the two followers, this means that though we are walking back to Jerusalem, Jerusalem is also coming back to us. In Tagalog, sinasalubong natin. We're walking to welcome it back.

Today we celebrate the Feast of St. Lucy, a saint whose name means light — and today's Gospel invites us to ask a powerful Advent question: Do you recognize Jesus when He is right in front of you? In this reflection, Father Jonathan connects the beautiful traditions of St. Lucy with the Gospel theme of sight and recognition. Just as the disciples on the road to Emmaus failed to recognize Jesus until the breaking of the bread, we are invited to reflect on where — and how — we see Christ today. In this video, we're invited to consider: • Do we recognize Jesus in the Eucharist? • Do we recognize Him in Adoration? • Do we recognize Him in the people we encounter each day — even the difficult ones? • And do we trust that Jesus recognizes us, even when others don't? This Advent reflection reminds us that Christ is alive — in the Mass, in the Eucharist, in our neighbor, and in you. And even when we feel unseen or unrecognized, Jesus knows us, sees us, and loves us. As we continue this Advent journey, let us pray for the grace to recognize truth, goodness, and beauty — and to become the saints God is calling us to be.

IntroductionThe crucifixion, intended as a deterrent by Rome, is intedened to kill people in a demeaning, painfully slow way. The intention was to deter anyone from rebelling against Rome.A successful execution is when someone stays dead. A really successful crucifixion is when one is deterred and broken against any hope of rising above the empire.The irony of the cross is that Christ faces the consequences of being nailed to the tree like a covenant breaker. He does so showing that this age is not a place of rest because he is an innocent man sent to death.It important to note that while Rome miscarries justice we witness heaven's court overturning the miscarriage of justice. The death of Christ is necessary to bear the penalty of sin. However, the resurrection is even more necessary because it testifes to Christ's innocence. Luke wants us to understand that the death was not a failure, a plan B, but it was the intended plan to overturn the fall's consequences.Resurrection RevealedThe women, witnessing the burial, returned to the tomb on the first day of the week with spices, expecting to find Jesus' body. Instead, they encountered two angels in dazzling apparel who reminded them of Jesus' prophecy of his resurrection, leading the women to believe and share the news that Jesus had risen.We are forced to see that we do not prepare Christ for this age. It is Christ who redeems, secures, and is preparing us to dwell with him in paradise. Christ is our shield and defender who secures our place.Resurrection RejectedTwo disciples, Cleopas and another, walk to Emmaus. They are lamenting Jesus' death and dismissing the women's resurrection testimony. Jesus, unrecognized, joins them and rebukes their lack of understanding, explaining how the prophets foretold his death and resurrection. He then explains the scriptures, revealing himself as the Messiah and fulfilling the prophecies.Our problem is that we fail to see the depth of sin. Our bigger problem is we fail to see the resurrection power that is working with in us.Resurrection RegardedTwo men on the road to Emmaus invite a stranger, who is Christ, and their eyes are hidden from seeing him. They express their disappointment that Christ has died. They see this as Christ's failure rather than a necessity for Christ to fulfill his mission.Christ teaches them that this is what the prophets said. Christ is the embodiment of God's word. He fulfills the mission. He is the perfect God-Man who is hung upon the tree as a covenant breaker. The cross is not becasue Christ failed, but because Christ had to fulfill this mission.They end up inviting Christ to stay with them for the night. During a meal, Christ breaks bread, revealing his identity to them before disappearing. This encounter emphasizes Christ's role in preparing us for glory and highlights his patience and mission despite our doubts and misunderstandings.ConclusionThe cross is significant because it represents the depth of sin and the necessity of what it takes to overcome the consequence of the fall. Christ's sacrifice for redemption does not end in death, but ultimately in resurrection. Christ's resurrection is heaven's veto to the world's death sentence. It is because Christ has been raised that believers currently possess new life and a guarantee (down payment) of eternal life in Christ and with him in paradise forever.Let us never minimize the significance of the resurrection. Let us push forward in the confidence that our Lord is our shield and defender. He is the Lord of life and not death. As we take hold of Christ by faith we share in that victory.
In this powerful conversation with Nathan Johnson, we explore how all of Scripture—from Genesis to Revelation—points to Jesus Christ. From the types and shadows in the Law and Prophets to the prophecies, feasts, and even geography, we see Christ revealed again and again. As the Living Word, He is not only the fulfillment of the Old Testament but also its very heartbeat. May our hearts burn within us, as on the road to Emmaus, as we behold the wonder of Jesus in all of God's Word.Nathan Johnson has a passion to help equip Christians to understand the Word of God and experience a deep love for Jesus that transforms their lives and the world around them.

In this moving sermon drawn from Luke 24, Pastor Chris Rieber explores the profound encounter between the resurrected Jesus and two disheartened disciples on the road to Emmaus. Devastated and depressed after witnessing the crucifixion, these disciples were walking away from Jerusalem—and their hope. But Jesus meets them in their grief and, beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he shows them how the entirety of the Scriptures points to Him. Pastor Rieber highlights a transformative truth: Christ is the key that unlocks all of Scripture, and He alone is our inexhaustible source of hope. Discover how the proof of the resurrection transforms despair into unshakable confidence, and why a hope rooted in Jesus is a hope you simply cannot keep to yourself.
Meditations on the Mysteries of the Rosary: Glorious Mysteries One Who Descended So All Might Ascend: A Theology of the Glorious Mysteries This conference initially explores the deep unity and movement . . . . . . within the original fifteen mysteries of the Rosary . . . Joyful, Sorrowful, and Glorious . . . and shows how they mirror the central pattern of the Creed: Incarnation → Passion → Resurrection and Glory. The conference highlights how only one . . . Christ . . . descends from heaven, taking on our humanity, and then ascends again carrying that humanity into glory. Mary's Assumption confirms that where Christ has gone, we are meant to follow. The Time Scale of the Mysteries The meditation considers the time scale of the mysteries: • The Joyful Mysteries span about twelve years; • The Glorious Mysteries unfold across roughly 50 days followed by many years; • And, The Sorrowful Mysteries, in stark contrast, take place within a single intense day. The conference also gives attention to the public versus private character of the mysteries: Christ's passion is witnessed by thousands, whereas the resurrection and ascension are revealed only to a small circle of disciples. Jesus does not showcase His triumph; instead, He entrusts the proclamation of His resurrection to a handful who did not even witness the moment itself. The reflection then expands the First Glorious Mystery, urging a broader meditation on the many appearances of the risen Christ . . . from Mary Magdalene to the disciples on the road to Emmaus—emphasizing how His glorified humanity is the true pattern for our own. The Glorious Mysteries The Ascension is presented as Christ's heavenly enthronement, witnessed only by His disciples. It is inseparable from the Great Commission, in which Jesus commands this small, fragile group to evangelize the nations, promising His abiding presence and the coming of the Holy Spirit. The Third Glorious Mystery, Pentecost, reveals the Church's true beginning. The Holy Spirit descends not randomly, but upon the Church gathered on a Sunday, in prayer, in the place of the Eucharist, with Mary. Pentecost mirrors the Incarnation: as the Spirit once formed Christ's physical body in Mary, He now forms Christ's mystical body, the Church. The disciples step out into the world . . . and the world is already waiting, drawn by the Spirit. Peter's preaching leads to the conversion of more than three thousand, marking the start of the Church's mission to the nations. Overall, the conference shows how the Glorious Mysteries reveal Christ's victory, the exaltation of our humanity, the birth of the Church, and the continuation of the same divine movement from Incarnation to Redemption to Glory.

When the Spirit causes God's Word to burn in our hearts, we can't help but share it! It's what happened to Christ's followers on the road to Emmaus, and it can happen to you when you open your Bible. Nancy shares more in her message from Luke 24.
Learning From StrangersIn a culture that makes it easier than ever to avoid real human interaction, followers of Jesus are called to live differently. In this message, Pastor Brad challenges us to resist isolation, practice intentional hospitality, and rediscover the sacredness of everyday encounters. Drawing from Hebrews 13 and the story of Jesus with the stranger on the road to Emmaus, we learn how God often shows up through unexpected people and unplanned moments. This sermon invites us to see the image of God in everyone we meet and to create “holy friction” by engaging with the world rather than hiding from it.Date: 11/16/2025Speakers: Brad Goode

Mike provides insights on the significance of the walk to Emmaus and Jesus' last words on the cross. The readings are Luke 22:39-24:53 and Proverbs 26:20-23.

Scott Lambert focuses on Jesus' Emmaus walk to give us context for our walks with Jesus – Son of God and our Savior – observing that, while salvation is personal, our worship (and the whole of the church on earth) is a team activity. “Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father's home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?" – John 14:1-2 (NLT)

What did St. John Henry Newman contribute to our understanding of Sacred Scripture? With the news of Cardinal Newman being proclaimed a Doctor of the Church— Scott Hahn is joined by Jeff Morrow to answer this question. In this new episode of The Road to Emmaus, they dive into the legacy and work of Newman, his conversion, and his insights on the development of Doctrine. Cardinal Newman shows us how doctrine starts out in "seed form," and how it develops authentically along certain rules.
