April 26, 2026David ComstockIn Luke 24:13–35, two disciples leave Jerusalem discouraged, believing their hope in Jesus was misplaced—yet they don't realize He is walking with them the entire time. This story reveals how easy it is to miss what God is doing, even when it's right in front of us.In this message from our Eyes to See series, we explore:• Why spiritual blindness often comes from unmet expectations• How Jesus meets us personally in disappointment and doubt• The power of ordinary moments to reveal God's presence• What it looks like to move from seeing circumstances to seeing ChristWe often look for God in the spectacular, but Jesus shows up in the everyday—walking with us, speaking truth, and inviting us into real hope.

Jesus's resurrection from the dead that first Easter morning changed everything. He began his ministry by announcing the arrival of the kingdom of God, and in his death and resurrection he defeated the powers of sin. Yet, we still live in a world consumed by darkness. We suffer, we grieve, we lose hope. The kingdom of God is a present reality for us now, but not all of God's promises have been fulfilled. We live in the tension of the "already, but not yet." In this series, we will be exploring the time between Jesus's resurrection and Pentecost, in some traditions called Eastertide.  We will consider how these stories and experiences inform our lives as we continue to live in the reality of God's kingdom having arrived, yet not in its fullness. How are the different stories reflected in our own lives? What do these stories teach us about living in the "already, but not yet" tension? This week, Joan Kelley led us through the story the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, exploring how Jesus meets us in the times when things do not go as 'we had hoped'. How might we encounter the Risen Christ as we look for him in our everyday lives? For additional resources, visit our website.

Step into a powerful vision of heaven and rediscover Jesus in everyday life. Pastor Cameron connects Revelation's throne-room worship with the road to Emmaus, showing how Christ reveals Himself in ordinary moments. Through communion, we're invited to see His presence, receive His redemption, and live as His body together. If you've ever felt like God is distant, this message reframes everything: He's nearer than you think, active in the mundane, and worthy of all praise. Slow down, open your eyes, and encounter the risen Jesus again.

Kate Bauer | Luke 24:13-25On the Road to Emmaus, Jesus walks with His followers unrecognized until their eyes are opened, reminding us that He is often closer than we realize.

In this week's episode of Faith to Go, we meet two people on the road to Emmaus—walking, talking, and trying to make sense of everything that has happened. They are joined by a stranger who talks with them, but it isn't until the breaking of the bread that they finally recognize it is Jesus.Together, we reflect on how often God is present in our lives in ways we don't immediately see. What does it mean to walk with Jesus without recognizing him? And how are our eyes opened—in scripture, in community, in the ordinary moments we almost miss?Plus, we share this week's God Sightings, noticing where resurrection is quietly unfolding around us.Faith to Go is a ministry of The Episcopal Diocese of San Diego.  Click here to learn more about EDSD's great work in our region and how you can support this ministry.Remember to get in contact with us!Email: faithtogo@edsd.orgInstagram: @faithtogo

Our Lead Pastor, Whit George, closes out Holy Week on Easter Sunday. We often believe our biggest problems are external: our circumstances, our relationships, our situation... But what if the deeper issue isn't out there, and it was actually within you? The resurrection confronts that reality. If Jesus really rose from the dead, then this life isn't all there is. Your story isn't over, and what you're longing for actually has an answer. The resurrection isn't just about what happened 2,000 years ago, it's about what's possible for you right now. In this message, Pastor Whit explores the following Scriptures: LUKE 24:15-16 ESV 15 While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them. 16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing him. LUKE 24:21 ESV 21 But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel... LUKE 24:25-27 ESV 25 And he said to them, "O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?" 27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. 1 CORINTHIANS 15:14, 16-19 ESV 14 ... if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. 16 For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied. LUKE 24:32 ESV 32 They said to each other, "Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?" – Next Steps Looking to take a next step?

Read OnlineAfter making the crossing to the other side of the sea, Jesus and his disciples came to land at Gennesaret and tied up there. As they were leaving the boat, people immediately recognized him. Mark 6:53–54As soon as Jesus stepped out of the boat, the people “immediately recognized him.” Jesus and the Twelve had spent the previous day on the northeastern shore of the Sea of Galilee, in the remote territory near Bethsaida where they planned to be alone. When they arrived there, however, the crowds were waiting for them, so Jesus preached to thousands of people and then performed the miraculous feeding of five thousand.Afterward, Jesus sent the Twelve ahead of Him toward Capernaum, but the wind blew the disciples off course to the agricultural and fishing land of Gennesaret, a few miles south of Capernaum. It was during that nighttime sea voyage that Jesus walked on water and calmed the sea.Was it by accident that Jesus and the disciples arrived in Gennesaret rather than Capernaum? Likely not. Divine Providence guided everything Jesus did. The Father willed that Jesus minister to the people of that region, which He did with great power. The fact that the people immediately recognized Jesus speaks to their deep faith and spiritual sensitivity. Their recognition went beyond physical familiarity; their faith told them that He was the Messiah. As soon as they saw Him, their hearts were stirred. They gathered in great numbers, bringing many who were sick to Him and quickly sent word to the nearby villages to come quickly, for Jesus was there.Unlike the people of Nazareth, the people along the shore of the Sea of Galilee quickly manifested faith in Jesus. As a result, Jesus' miracles were numerous. Another sign that their faith was authentic was that the people did not act selfishly, trying to keep Jesus to themselves. Instead, their attention turned to those who needed Him the most, especially the sick and lame. This demonstrates the connection between faith and charity. True faith inspires an outpouring of love for others. We are not only grateful to God for the grace we receive, but we also immediately think of those in need—both those we know and others God places in our lives—and draw them to Jesus as well.Significantly, the people begged Jesus to let them “touch only the tassel on his cloak” (Mark 6:56). In the Torah, God commanded Moses to instruct the people to “make tassels for the corners of their garments, fastening a violet cord to each corner.” The tassels were meant to be a constant reminder of the Ten Commandments and their commitment to obey that covenant (cf. Numbers 15:37–41). Therefore, by touching the tassels Jesus wore in obedience to the Torah, the people were touching something sacred to them, worn by Him Who, as God, gave the people the Torah. By touching the tassels, the people not only honored the Torah but also reached out to its fulfillment in Jesus. Though they might not have fully understood what they were doing, their faith compelled them and they responded.Though today's Gospel is short, it is packed with faith, revealing numerous people flocking to Jesus with eagerness and divine hope. These people teach us how we must react to God's presence in our lives. Reflect today on the people of the land of Gennesaret who, upon recognizing Jesus in faith, “scurried about the surrounding country,” gathering many others who reached out in faith to touch the tassels Jesus wore. Consider whether you recognize Jesus' presence when you encounter Him. Do you recognize Him in the Eucharist, in your prayer, and in the people you encounter daily? When you do, do you immediately think of ways you can help bring others to Jesus? Do you reach out in faith, touching Jesus' tassels, believing with all certainty that His divine power will heal your soul and cure your weaknesses? Imitate these good people of Gennesaret, and Jesus' almighty power will flow generously into your life, just as it did to them. Most miraculous Lord, Your generosity knows no bounds when Your people seek You out in faith. Just as the people of Gennesaret recognized You in faith, You call me to do the same. I pray that I will always seek You out, and when I find You, will draw others to You. Jesus, I trust in You.Image via Adobe StockSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Jesus can be present right in front of us—and still be missed. This Crosswalk Devotional reflects on John 1:11–13, inviting us to examine how easily familiarity, pain, or assumptions can blind us to the presence of Christ. When Jesus came to earth, many failed to recognize Him for who He truly was. Yet Scripture reminds us that those who did receive Him were given the right to become children of God. This Christian devotional challenges us to consider how we see Jesus today. Do we recognize Him as Lord, Savior, and faithful Friend in the middle of ordinary life, hardship, or disappointment? Or do distractions, expectations, and appearances cloud our spiritual vision? God is omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent—and He is still at work, even when we struggle to perceive Him. Highlights Jesus was rejected because many did not recognize who He truly was God’s presence can be missed when we judge by appearances or expectations Pain, disappointment, and distraction can dull our spiritual awareness Christ is still present, powerful, and actively working in our lives Recognizing Jesus begins with faith, humility, and openness When we receive Christ, we are reborn as children of God God calls us to reflect Christ’s love in how we treat others Do you want to listen ad-free?

Goring Bible Reading:“He came to his own people, and even they rejected him. But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God.” - John 1:11-13 NLT While scrolling on social media a few weeks ago, I saw several skits with similar themes: a hotel concierge or a fancy purse store employee who treated someone poorly based on their appearance and denied service to them. However, after finding out who they were (famous, prominent, important, and influential), these people apologized profusely, but it was too late to take back their bad behavior and negative comments toward that person. A real, modern-day example of how people may treat you when they don’t know you’re rich and famous or influential happened several years ago when a famous American broadcast journalist was traveling in Europe. She visited a local store to shop for a purse. When she saw a purse she liked, she asked the clerk to see it. But the clerk said no because it was too expensive. The clerk proceeded to try to show the journalist other purses that she assumed were in the customer’s budget. The journalist decided to leave the store. Later, when management received news of what had happened and realized who this famous person was, they apologized and said that they didn’t know it was her. They implied that if they only knew who this famous woman was, then they would have treated her better and let her see the purse she wanted because she could afford it. After all, this woman is a billionaire. Reflecting on this real-world situation caused me to think of the Bible stories about how most people didn’t recognize the Messiah. I realized how often we can be just as shortsighted as the Pharisees and other Bible characters who didn’t recognize our Savior (Jesus Christ) when He was there with them. When Jesus was living on Earth, His own people rejected him and treated him poorly because they didn’t know who He was. It wasn’t until Christ’s death on the cross that a Roman soldier nearby said in Mark 15:39 (NIV), “Surely this man was the Son of God!” This made me think: If Jesus Christ were standing right in front of us, would we know Him? Would we recognize Him as our Lord and Savior? Would we know Him as the most faithful friend we ever had? Would we treat Him well or would we treat Him poorly based on how He appeared? It boggles my mind to know that when our Savior came to save humankind, most people didn’t recognize Him. Even the disciples of Jesus Christ had trouble realizing they were walking with Jesus on the road to Emmaus after His resurrection (Luke 24:13-35). Did they not feel His comforting Presence? Did they not experience His peace? Did they not feel that familiarity with the man whom they followed for several years? How did they not know that this was their Savior who had risen from the dead and now lives forever, just like He said would happen when they were part of His ministry prior to His death? Perhaps the disciples of Jesus were too traumatized and depressed by all the events that unfolded leading up to Christ’s crucifixion. Maybe they felt too hurt to see the hope who was walking right beside them. I can understand that because I also have felt too weighed down by the woes of the world at times, making it nearly impossible to sense God’s Presence in our broken planet. But the good news is that Jesus is here. The Bible says God is omniscient, which means He knows all and nothing is hidden from Him (Psalm 139:1-4 and Jeremiah 23:24). God is also omnipresent, which means His Presence is everywhere (Psalm 139:7-10). God is omnipotent, and that means He is the most powerful force in this world and the entire universe (Psalm 147:5). What a mighty God we serve! When you feel burdened by the problems in our world, turn to Jesus. Know Him for who He is: Our Lord, Savior, Redeemer, and most Faithful Friend. It is my hope and prayer that we will always recognize God in our lives. Let’s not be like the people of the Bible era who missed the Messiah even when He was with them. Let’s be like the ones who recognized the Son of God and welcomed Him with open arms. Let’s allow the bright light of Jesus Christ to shine through us and fill the world with His pure love for humankind. May we also treat each other with agape love, kindness, and respect, no matter how we look (Leviticus 19:18). In closing, I’d like you to listen to these songs listed below.

Luke 2:21–38 introduces Simeon and Anna, who recognized the Messiah when Mary and Joseph brought Him to the temple. Today we reflect on keeping our eyes, ears, and hearts open so we don't miss Jesus in our daily lives.

John the Baptist pointed to the true Light — Jesus — yet many did not recognize Him. In John 1:6–13, we're reminded that all who believe and accept Him become children of God. We'll reflect on the importance of keeping our eyes, ears, and hearts open to Jesus so we don't miss Him in our daily lives.

Recognizing Jesus | Luke 2 | Pastor Will Cover

Pastor Krissy Miles opens this message by addressing the confusion and division of today's culture, particularly as amplified through social media and current events. She calls believers to practice true discernment, explaining that truth is not found merely in information or words, but in people who are genuinely submitted to Jesus—the person of truth. Even those who speak Scripture, she warns, may not truly be aligned with Christ if their lives are not marked by humility and obedience.Transitioning into the Christmas season, Pastor Krissy introduces the theme “The Messianic King,” part of The Miracle of Christmas series. She addresses the topic of Israel, highlighting the shared spiritual heritage between Christians and Jews while affirming the Christian belief that Jesus is the promised Messiah foretold in the Old Testament. Drawing from the Apostle Paul, she emphasizes the call to love the Jewish people and to desire their salvation.The message centers on the Road to Emmaus in Luke 24, where two disciples walk with the resurrected Jesus without recognizing Him. Pastor Krissy explains that Jesus is not hidden by God, but unrecognized because of doubt and disappointment. She connects this to modern believers, showing how discouragement and unbelief can blind us to God's work in our lives.As Jesus opens the Scriptures, Pastor Krissy highlights how the Law and the Prophets point to Him, referencing Old Testament passages from Daniel, Ezekiel, Haggai, and Zechariah that foretell a spiritual and eternal kingdom fulfilled in Christ. The message culminates in the breaking of bread, where the disciples finally recognize Jesus—a moment Pastor Krissy connects to communion and the Passover, revealing Jesus as the true Passover Lamb.Key Themes:Spiritual Discernment in a Noisy CultureTruth Found in Lives Submitted to JesusJesus as the Promised Messianic KingIsrael and God's Redemptive PlanThe Road to Emmaus (Luke 24)Doubt, Disappointment, and Spiritual BlindnessJesus Revealed Through the Law and the ProphetsThe Kingdom of God: Spiritual and EternalThe Son of Man in ScriptureCommunion, Passover, and FulfillmentUpdated Timestamps:0:20 – Introduction & Discernment3:20 – The Call for Spiritual Discernment5:00 – The Messianic King & Israel8:00 – The Road to Emmaus (Luke 24)13:20 – Confusion & Disappointment16:00 – Jesus Explains the Scriptures20:00 – Recognizing Jesus in the Breaking of Bread21:20 – Doubt vs. Faith28:20 – Daniel's Vision of the Kingdom30:20 – Old Testament Prophecies Fulfilled32:20 – The Kingdom of God Has Come34:20 – The Unshakable Kingdom36:20 – The Son of Man Revealed38:20 – Communion & Passover54:20 – Application & Call to Faith65:20 – Closing Prayer & Christmas Blessing

In this Christmas message, we explore the Magi's gift of frankincense to baby Jesus, declaring His divinity and role as ultimate High Priest. From Matthew 2:1-12, the wise men brought pure incense used in temple worship, symbolizing Jesus as God in flesh who would offer Himself for our sins—fulfilling rituals and tearing the veil at His death (Matthew 27:50-51).Frankincense represents prayer as our modern incense (Psalm 141:1-2; Revelation 5:8), inviting us to draw near God with confidence through Christ's blood (Hebrews 10:19-25). If Jesus is King, bring Him your prayers—acknowledging His divinity, relying on Him as our hope, and living under His priestly covering.CONNECT WITH US:→ Request Prayer: https://bit.ly/3zMyf5E→ Request Care: https://bit.ly/3fBTX5G→ Share a Testimony: https://bit.ly/3Jo7Ped→ Find Events and More: https://bit.ly/3TcrkcR→ Leave us a Review on Google: https://bit.ly/47925jP→ Plan a Visit in Person: https://bit.ly/3sfQdg7FOLLOW US:→ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/illuminatec...→ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@illuminate_ch...→ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/illuminatech...WE HELP PEOPLE FIND ABUNDANT LIFE IN JESUS!

Richard Griffin was Queen Elizabeth II’s personal police officer for fourteen years. Accompanying her on a picnic in the hills near Balmoral Castle one day, they met two American hikers. “Have you ever met the Queen?” they asked, not recognizing the monarch in plain dress. “I haven’t,” the Queen quipped, “but Richard here meets her regularly!” Thrilled to meet someone close to royalty, the hikers then handed the Queen their camera, posed with Richard, and asked her to take a photo! It isn’t the first time someone has been in the presence of an important person unawares. “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it,” Jacob said after encountering God in a dream at Bethel (Genesis 28:16). And when Philip asked Jesus to show the disciples the Father, Jesus replied, “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father” (John 14:9). Like the hikers, the disciples had been ready to hand Jesus the camera, not recognizing He was the One to zoom in on (vv. 10-11). Like the Queen that day, Jesus hasn’t always been recognized for who He really is. Beyond a “wise teacher” or “great moral leader,” He’s God in the flesh and King of the world (1:14; 18:36). What a revelation it is when we discover it!

When Carlotta was young, she thought her mother had a remarkable gift for recognizing other people. But Carlotta’s mother was normal. It was Carlotta who was remarkable. She had a rare condition called prosopagnosia. She couldn’t recognize or remember faces. Shortly after Jesus’ resurrection, two disciples walking from Jerusalem seemed as if they had such a condition when they encountered someone they should have recognized. The two were talking about the exciting news of the past few days (Luke 24:14), but the third person seemed unaware of the events. They gave Him a quick summary only to be surprised as this unknown person (Jesus) “explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself” (v. 27). Then Christ broke bread with them (v. 30)—something He’d done many times before. At that moment, “Their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight” (v. 31). They hurried back to Jerusalem to tell others (v. 33). Those disciples didn’t recognize Jesus when they were with Him, and they hadn’t recognized Him in the Old Testament, something they read often and thought they knew well. They needed Jesus to reveal Himself to them because they couldn’t see on their own. We need that help too. Let’s ask God to open our eyes to see Jesus on the pages of the Bible, and in our lives.

In this heartfelt episode, Evangelist Craig Treadwell shares a powerful message about faith, gratitude, and the transformative power of recognizing Jesus as the Master in our lives. Through the story of the ten lepers, we explore the importance of acknowledging God's authority and the peace that comes with it. Join us as we delve into the deeper meaning of being made whole and the call to live a life of gratitude and trust in the Lord.

In John 21:1-14, the disciples experience this very clarity. Initially, they don't recognize the figure on the shore—until He speaks and His promise is fulfilled. They've witnessed this before: a night of fruitless fishing, then a simple command from Jesus, and suddenly their nets overflow. "It is the Lord!" proclaims John, recognizing Jesus by His word that accomplishes exactly what He promises. Today, we hear that same powerful word, given so that "you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name" (John 20:31). Listen and believe—it truly is the Lord! ✨ Key Takeaways: Jesus fulfills His promises in unexpected ways. Recognizing Jesus comes through hearing His Word.
