Luke 24

This is the sermon for the Lord's Day, June 7, 2026. 

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.

Recorded on Sunday, May 3, 2026. Other scripture cited: Exodus 3:1-4; Acts 2:42-47.Support the show

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?

Jesus approached the two disciples heading to Emmaus. As he approached he overheard what they were talking about and then he changed the direction of the conversation. How would the presence of Jesus change your daily conversations?

April 19, 2026 / Sunday Sermon: The Road to Emmaus / Fr. Christopher Rodriguez by Trinity Episcopal Church Vero Beach

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.

Maximino Cerezo Barredo (Spanish, 1932–), “Emmaus” (triptych), 2014. Carvalhos, Portugal. April 19, 2024: May God's words be spoken, may God's words be heard. Amen. Happy Easter everyone! Yes – it's still Easter. In fact, while we celebrate Eastertide for 50 days, in reality we are always a resurrection people. Now, the New York Times had a headline this week about the Vice President that read “Vance Says The Pope Should Be More Careful When Talking About Theology.” Does anyone else feel like the real news these days sounds more like something the parody news outlet, The Onion, would put out? Seriously though, the Vice President said about the Pope, I kid you not: “If you’re going to opine on matters of theology, you’ve got to be careful, you’ve got to be sure it’s anchored in the truth and that’s one of the things that I try to do and that’s certainly something I would expect from the clergy…” Says the guy who converted only 7 years ago about the man who has been a priest for 3 decades and is now the Vicar of Christ? Well, Mr. Vice President, I am not the Pope, just a priest in Christ's one holy catholic and apostolic church, but I do intend to speak on matters of theology, and I suggest you stay in your lane of – well, whatever it is you do. If you have a problem with that – bring it on. I would be happy to have a theological dialog with you, because Lordy, you seemed to have skipped some of your RCIA classes when you were prepping for your conversion. Now, if you think that was the most outrageous thing that happened this past few weeks, you may get the same head scratching stares Jesus got on the road to Emmaus when he asked Cleopas and the other disciple “What news?” So, let's talk about this beloved Easter story. It begins with Cleopas and his companion walking from Jerusalem to Emmaus, comforting one another in their deep grief over the death of their teacher and friend, Jesus. Now, before we go any further, I want to remind everyone about the identities of these two folks. So many just assume that these are two men walking on this road, but as most of you who have been here awhile know by now, that assumption is a reflection of our society, not the scriptures. The text says “Now on that same day two of Jesus’ disciples were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, and talking with each other about all these things that had happened.” Nowhere does it say these were two men! The Greek is gender neutral. Given that the bible is rife with examples of women going unnamed, and given that the bible authors have no problem usually telling you the names of every single man in any story, it is far more likely that it is a woman with Cleopas, not a man. This is not just my own opinion, of course, but that of many scholars who argue as much. So, there you have it – Cleopas was walking the road to Emmaus with his wife, girlfriend, sister, female best bud, wing woman, or whatever. Now that we have that cleared up, let's give her a name…how about Zoe, from the Greek word for life. Now, back to the story. Remember, Cleo and Zoe were leaving Jerusalem – leaving the place where the disciples were cowered in fear, where Jesus had been crucified, where those associated with him were in danger. Tensions were high. People, including these two, were grieving and fearful. And as they talked among themselves about the situation and all that had happened to them, Jesus came near and went alongside them. Now, they didn't recognize him. This was a stranger on this road, and not only that, but that same stranger basically says “Heyt, what's up?” First, let's look at the word choice of the author here to describe Jesus. It is the Greek word πάροικος (paroikos) which means migrant, or a resident foreigner. It often refers to a temporary resident lacking citizenship in a particular place. And they tell this stranger, this foreigner, everything – who they thought Jesus was, what had happened to him, and who was responsible for it. That they had hoped he was the one to “redeem Israel,” which may not mean much in our context, but then was the same as saying overthrow the Empire and free the oppressed. They told him things that could get them crucified if he happened to be someone connected to power. It was risky. And knowing that risk makes the next part even more astounding – they invited this stranger to stay with them. Welcoming the stranger was the law of God, and one that was a matter of life or death in that time. There were not Wawas on every corner to grab food, and roads at night were prime places for robbers to lay in wait. They did not know Jesus, but they knew their God and what God expected of them. They invited him in, this man on the road. They took another risk. Today Jesus, the paroikos, the migrant, the resident foreigner, needs us to take a risk. To risk having the conversations that may put us in danger with those in power, to risk welcoming him as we would if we could have the veils lifted from our eyes and saw the Christ walking alongside us. And that is exactly what Pope Leo the XIV was doing that prompted responses from both the Vice President and the President. First, let's step back a bit to get the full scope of all that has happened just since Easter Sunday. On that most sacred and holy of days for Christians, the President posted on his social media this heartwarming message: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!! Open the F'in' [he used the full word – I will not)…anyway] Open the F'in' Strait you crazy [a b word I also will not repeat], or you'll be living in Hell.” And then, in all caps (for reasons known only to him) he continued “JUST WATCH!” Praise be to Allah. President Donald J. Trump” This was the President's Easter message – a pledge to commit war crimes against the Iranian people, and mocking their faith. But wait, there's more… The Secretary of Defense called this a holy war, and this week, in a worship service at the Pentagon, he prayed for “overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy.” I should note, this same “Christian,” also asked everyone to pray while he quoted a passage of scripture – except what he read was from the movie “Pulp Fiction,” and not the bible. This was on top of his declaring that journalists were like the Pharisees who opposed Jesus…implying that the President was Christ himself. The President seemed to think so, as he re-posted on social media a blasphemous meme of him depicted as Jesus, healing a sick man, as avenging beings fly in the skies above, and a bunch of white people hold their hands in prayer around him. And – he claimed that Leo owes his election as Pope to him. Yup – you can't make this stuff up. But let me make one thing perfectly clear – while some of this is farcical, this is no laughing matter. This is what Christian Nationalism does. It perverts the gospel of the Prince of Peace into a bludgeon for war, hate, violence, and oppression. Christian Nationalism is a heresy and it must be stopped whenever and wherever it rises up. Now, back in “Sane-ville” – the Pope made it clear that “God does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war.” While traveling to Cameroon, actually to a city I spent time in years ago – Bamenda – Pope Leo said even more. Now, he was speaking about the long and violent civil war that had wracked this beautiful nation, but of course a certain President and Vice-President didn't see it that way. The Pope said, “The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet often a lifetime is not enough to rebuild…” And quoting actual scripture, not the Gospel of Quentin Tarantino, he said “Blessed are the peacemakers!” which we know was a part of the sermon on the mount. Then Pope Leo added “But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.” Why am I telling you all this? Because Pope Leo is having a risky conversation, in a risky place. The Pope is exhibiting moral courage at a desperate time in the lives of so many around the world. Don't mess with a guy from the South Side of Chicago. Seriously. And supporting him in this is our own Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullaly, who said “I stand with my brother in Christ, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, in his courageous call for a kingdom of peace. As innocent people are killed and displaced, families torn apart, and futures destroyed, the human cost of war is incalculable. It is the calling of every Christian – and of all people of faith and goodwill – to work and pray for peace. We must also urge all those entrusted with political authority to pursue every possible peaceful and just means of resolving conflict. As I prepare to visit Rome later this month to meet and pray with Pope Leo, I am mindful of his call to keep our eyes open to the suffering of the world, and our gaze fixed on our crucified and risen Lord Jesus Christ – the image of the invisible God, in whose image and likeness every human being is made.” Let the people say “Amen.” Folks, the Road To Emmaus is what we are walking now. People are fleeing empire today and we, the followers of Jesus, sometimes may feel like those first converts in the passage of Acts we heard this morning, who asked of Peter “what should we do?” The story of Cleo and Zoe provide the answer. We should have the risky conversations – proclaim the gospel even when it may be dangerous to do so. Proclaim it in what you say and in what you do. Proclaim it in places others might not go. We should welcome the foreigner – not bomb them, not shoot them, not unjustly imprison them, not rip their children from them. We should invite them in, for they are made in the image of God, and they are the crucified one in our midst. We should come here to experience Jesus in the breaking of the bread – to hear the scriptures (again – real ones not from a movie) – to have our hearts burn within us. That is what we should do – have the risky conversations, welcome Jesus in the stranger in our midst, experience him in the breaking of the bread – for that is our faith! That is our Easter life. Cardinal Tobin, who I have had the pleasure of working with here in New Jersey, said in an interview in response to what Pope Leo is doing “I’ve had the privilege of working closely with four popes, very different people in a lot of ways. But each one in some way was the right one for that moment in time. I believe that — Pope Leo is the right man at this time.” Now, I am not a Cardinal, but I can assure you this: Pope Leo is the right one for this time…and so are each of you. All of you are in this moment – this road to Emmaus moment – because you are the right person for this time. There will be people, sometimes powerful people, telling you to stay in your lane, perverting the gospel, trying to crucify Jesus. But you must continue on that Emmaus journey. You must recognize Jesus in the stranger, who yearns to draw near to you. Welcome him, share your pain with him, listen to him, experience him in the breaking of the bread, and then proclaim the gospel – even when it's risky. For that will always be a risk worth taking. Amen.

Wilcox Christ Church in Bloomfield & Glen Ridge April 19, 2026 The Third Sunday of Easter – Year A 1st Reading – Acts 2:14a,36-41 Psalm 116:1-3, 10-17 2nd Reading – 1 Peter 1:17-23 Gospel – Luke 24:13-35

This powerful message takes us on a transformative journey along the road to Emmaus, where two devastated disciples encounter the risen Christ without recognizing Him. We discover that spiritual blindness isn't always about lack of knowledge—these disciples knew the scriptures, yet they failed to truly believe them. The beauty of this account lies in how Jesus meets us exactly where we are: in our sadness, our doubts, our shattered dreams. He doesn't abandon us in our folly; instead, He walks alongside us, drawing out our questions and gently correcting our misunderstandings. The climactic moment comes not just through Bible teaching, but at the table—in the breaking of bread. Their eyes were opened through communion, revealing a profound truth: we don't fully know Christ through information alone, but through participation. This challenges us to move beyond intellectual Christianity into experiential faith. When we approach the scriptures and the communion table with burning hearts rather than casual routine, transformation happens. We're invited to see these holy mysteries not as empty symbols but as genuine encounters with the risen Lord who still meets us, teaches us, and reveals Himself to us today.

Road to Emmaus- Hunter Psalm 116:1-3, 10-17 Luke 24:13-35

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.   

Have we felt the like the disciples onm the road to Emmaus?  You are in good company.  (Here I Am - Tom Booth) Rebreadcast 2023)The homilies of Msgr. Stephen J. AvilaPastor, St. Joseph, Guardian of the Holy Family Parish, Falmouth, MAThanks for listening! May God's Word find a home in you.

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.

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
