Two disciples talk on their way from Jerusalem to Emmaus. It's the morning Jesus rose from the dead. News of an empty tomb is getting around, but it's no consolation. Jesus was not there. Little did they know, he would join them on the road—their closest companion presenting as a stranger. What would Jesus say to these beleaguered disciples? What would they say to this "stranger" about him? And what is the Holy Spirit saying to us through this touching account of disciples transformed—not by an encounter with Jesus in person, but in the Scriptures? It is there in the Word of God rightly interpreted in light of Christ that sad hearts turn sunny, that broken hearts burn with love for him.

Luke 24:13-32
Have you ever been recruited for a job, a team, a role that you didn't really know was coming your way? Those disciples on the road to Emmaus were. They didn't know it at the time, but Jesus appeared to them and recruited them into his grand design. They invited him into their home for the evening, offered him food and drink. It was only after he took charge and blessed the meal that they realized who Jesus actually was. Then they became an even bigger part of the story by immediately turning around to go back to Jerusalem and share the good news of Jesus' resurrection with the Eleven. God often recruits us be leaders in the same way. We may want to have others in the limelight because it can be hard to see ourselves as leaders, but we all have the capacity within us. Today's message comes from Pastor Sarah. Our Gospel lesson is from Luke, Chapter 24, verses 28 - 35.
As the disciples walked away from Jerusalem after the crucifixtion, their internal story of the event was limiting their ability to see a future for Christ and Christianity. As Jesus walked with them, he helped explain how their story was an incomplete telling of the events of the past days. We too can allow our stories to be limiting vs. enlivening. We need to remember that a Savior is with us at all times. Today's message is brought to us by Pastor Jason. Our Gosple is from Luke, Chapter 24, verses 18-27.
This week Kirstine looks at one of her favourite passages in the Bible: Luke 24:13-35 where we hear about Jesus walking and talking with two followers as they wrestle with his death.
The Road to Leadership. In a story often called “The Road to Emmaus,” followers of Jesus express the disappointment and heartbreak of Jesus' crucifixion. When we experience disappointment on life's road, it can lead to cynicism, lost hope, and dead ends. This road is hard and the journey is difficult, but it can also be revealing. The road of disappointment can show us our passions and deepest desires. We meet Jesus there, and that road can become the place we discover our call to leadership. This message comes to us from Pastor Sarah. Our gospel comes from Luke, Chapter 24 verses 13 - 18.

Pastor Tom preaches on the disciples who met Jesus on the road to Emmaus. Message originally preached Wednesday evening March 25, 2026.
This week on Chasing the Rabbit, the pastors take a winding road from debating the proper pronunciation of “cruller” (or is it crawler… or wagon wheel?) to discussing favorite barbecue sauces, getting caught in Savannah rainstorms, and surviving long-distance hikes and rucks. Somewhere between grilled chicken, microwaved foil disasters, and sous vide steak experiments, the conversation turns to one of the most powerful resurrection stories in Scripture—the Road to Emmaus.In Luke 24, two discouraged followers walk seven miles away from Jerusalem, confused and heartbroken after the crucifixion of Jesus. What they don't realize is that Jesus Himself is walking beside them. Why did He choose to reveal Himself this way? Why the long walk before the revelation? And what does it teach us about how God meets us in our own confusion, disappointment, and everyday conversations?The team unpacks the beauty of this resurrection appearance—how despair turns to joy, how Scripture comes alive, and how Jesus often reveals Himself in the ordinary moments of life.Also in this episode:The great cruller vs. crawler debate continuesFavorite barbecue sauces from Georgia, the Carolinas, and beyondRainstorm survival storiesLongest distance everyone has ever walkedWhy Jeremy may never climb into a top bunk againHow Jason almost burned down the church with a microwavePlus, a special reminder about First Steps, a great opportunity for kids and parents to talk about salvation, baptism, and following Jesus.Listen, laugh, and chase a few rabbits with us.
During Hour 3 of the Patrick Madrid Show, a variety of topics were discussed by callers and listener emails. Becky emailed in asking for a book recommendation on the history of the Catholic Church, Margaret emailed in expressing her agreement with lowering the age of Confirmation, sparking further discussion on the topic. One emailer pushed back, arguing that Patrick had actually proven that lowering the age of Confirmation is a mistake. Matt added a thoughtful perspective, noting that while someone may intellectually know the faith, if the heart does not connect with it, the knowledge does not truly take root. On a Scripture-related note, Terry emailed in to point out that the question of whether the two people on the Road to Emmaus were a man and a woman completely misses the point of the story. Email – Becky – Can you recommend a book that gives the history of the Catholic Church? Patrick recommends James Hitchcock’s book and the website Eternal Christendom Email - Margaret - I agree with lowering the age of Confirmation. Break 1 Email – Terry – Who cares whether the 2 people on the Road To Emmaus were a man and a woman? That is not the point of the story. Pinia - Recommendations for dealing with anxiety about end times or abductions? Marie - could the other apostle on the road to Emmaus be Simon Peter? Break 2 Email – Patrick, you just proved that having an early age for Confirmation is a mistake. Matt - The head knows the faith but if the heart doesn't connect then it doesn't stick.

1. One idea that Cole worked with during his sermon today was the way in which the travelers on the road to Emmaus were kept from recognizing Jesus. Framed within the larger message and emphases of the book of Luke, Cole asserted that it was not, as many think, God who kept the men from recognizing Jesus. How have you previously understood that part of this story? If it had been God blocking them from seeing, why might God have done so? How has Cole's positioning and contextualizing impacted your ideas about this same question. If it wasn't God, how would you articulate the reason for the not-seeing? How do you imagine the dynamics playing out for the travelers, and for Jesus, in light of Cole's teaching?What, then, are your thoughts about the story itself and how you might allow your present understanding to shape and influence you?2. One of Cole's slides read as follows:“The Resurrection is not just a miracle; it is a political act of defiance. It proves that the community formed by Christ is not disbanded by the Empire's violence, but is actually solidified by it.”Take a moment to reflect on this. What responses arise in you? How does this idea speak to you? What do you hear it saying? What does it mean? 3. In Cole's closing prayer, he prayed about the ways in which the story did not go the way we thought it was going to go. He attributed this, in part, to the fact that our imaginations and expectations are shaped by something else, something(s) outside of this story. Reflect on places and ways within yourself in which you have found this idea to hold true. Where, in your life, have you realized that your expectations and conceptions blinded you, and that those expectations were shaped by something you might not want to be influenced by any longer?Share about the difficult parts and the beautiful parts of this process. How did you come to that awareness? Where did they lead you? What has it helped to unfold within you and within your life?

In the well known biblical account that takes place on the Road to Emmaus, sometimes people overlook the detail when Jesus shares the meal with Cleopus and his traveling companion. The story tells us that Jesus takes the bread, blesses it, breaks it, and gives it to them. Perhaps there is more to the story.
In week 2 of Name the Chain, Chrissy Cole speaks on trauma, emotional wounds, and the healing that Jesus offers. Through Scripture, personal testimony, and the story of the road to Emmaus, this message shows how honesty, truth, and the presence of Jesus can begin to heal what pain, disappointment, and unmet expectations have wounded. If you have been carrying hidden hurt, this sermon is a reminder that God is jealous for your healing and ready to restore your hope.Click here to view the episode transcript.

The two disciples' encounter with Jesus on the road to Emmaus teaches us so much about prayer and faith. Jesus walks with us whether we realize it or not. He is interested in what is happening in our lives and also in how it affects us. His presence in the dialogue of prayer, in the Eucharist and in Scripture should be places where we regularly seek his companionship and counsel.
Father Joseph Illo joins Patrick to lead a Sunday Bible Study on the Road to Emmaus (10:32) Gospel Luk 24: 13-35 How does this passage reflect the Mass? (26:03) Break 1 (28:04) Deacon Michael - My homily is very simple...point about not recognizing Christ is because we're all walking the road to Emmaus. Christ shows up and we have got to be attentive and see Christ. sometimes it's obvious. (30:25) Robert - Father said reading the scripture with good compendium or commentary. I came across a comment recently and I think a lot of folks don't know what a good commentary would be. Could you provide more about this? Paul - Interesting that he consecrated the bread and it's because perhaps he was present in the bread and had to be there. (37:47) Alex - My church started an Emmaus retreat which is all over now. Been immersed with this reading for years. I continue to learn from it. One part left out is discussing...let's not forget Jesus went farther. They invited him in. What would have happened if they didn't invite him in? What a lost opportunity this would have been. Think of how this relates to our lives. (41:26) Break 2 (42:35) Abby - Road to Emmaus...I was curious on seeing Christ in our moments of joy and blessing as well. Where do we align that with Christ? How we are in the light in Christ even when in darkness Daniel - Inviting Jesus in. In Jeremiah...you will find me when you search for all your heart. You're supposed to go after God with all your heart.

What does the resurrection story in Luke 24, the road to Emmaus, reveal about the Mass? Dr. Sri invites us to see how the disciples' journey on the road to Emmaus mirrors our own spiritual lives—filled with hope, confusion, joy, and sorrow. More importantly, it reveals what God truly desires from us at every Mass: not perfection, but presence. Not routine, but relationship. _ _ For full shownotes, visit Ascensionpress.com/Allthingscatholic, or text ALLTHINGSCATHOLIC to 33-777 for weekly shownotes sent to your inbox.
On the road to Emmaus, two disciples walk away from the empty tomb confused and disappointed, even after hearing the resurrection preached to them. In this episode we see how Jesus meets them in their blindness, draws out their unbelief, and then does what they cannot—interpreting all of Scripture and finally giving himself in the breaking of the bread. In line with Martin Luther, faith isn't manufactured by understanding or effort, but created when Christ himself delivers the promise—so that the risen Lord isn't a manufactured confession, but because he makes himself known.GOSPEL Luke 24:13-3513 Now on that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, 14 and talking with each other about all these things that had happened. 15 While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and went with them, 16 but their eyes were kept from recognizing him. 17 And he said to them, “What are you discussing with each other while you walk along?” They stood still, looking sad.g 18 Then one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem who does not know the things that have taken place there in these days?” 19 He asked them, “What things?” They replied, “The things about Jesus of Nazareth,h who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, 20 and how our chief priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death and crucified him. 21 But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel.i Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things took place. 22 Moreover, some women of our group astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning, 23 and when they did not find his body there, they came back and told us that they had indeed seen a vision of angels who said that he was alive. 24 Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said; but they did not see him.” 25 Then he said to them, “Oh, how foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have declared! 26 Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and then enter into his glory?” 27 Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things about himself in all the scriptures.28 As they came near the village to which they were going, he walked ahead as if he were going on. 29 But they urged him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, because it is almost evening and the day is now nearly over.” So he went in to stay with them. 30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him; and he vanished from their sight. 32 They said to each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?” 33 That same hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven and their companions gathered together. 34 They were saying, “The Lord has risen indeed, and he has appeared to Simon!” 35 Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he had been made known to them in the breaking of the bread.Support the showInterested in sponsoring an episode of Scripture First?Email Sarah at sarah@lhos.org or visit our donation page: lutherhouseofstudy.org/donate
