The Easter Stranger

One of the best things about a mystery novel is that moment when you see how it all comes together in the end. The disciples on the road to Emmaus that first Easter must have had a similar experience. While they were talking about all that had happened, Jesus came and connected the dots for them. While we have no record of all that was said, it’s not difficult to imagine the awe and wonder the men must have felt as they understood for the first time things Christians today often take for granted. The patriarchs, the exodus, the judges, the prophets, the temple, and an entire religious system all foreshadowed the work of Jesus. And as if to put the icing on the cake, Jesus ends the visit by breaking bread the same way He had in the Upper Room. God’s new way of doing things had arrived. We rejoice with the apostles that we, too, are part of this new way of doing things! Like the apostles, encourage your students to share this Good News of Jesus!
