I met Jesus! Emmaus

Sometimes we might feel that the place or situation that we're in means the end of life as we know it. Probably the two people walking to their home in Emmaus on that first Easter Day felt like this. They had invested their lives in following Jesus, but He had been crucified. They thought that their life was over. Unknown to them Jesus had risen from the dead and He came and walked along side them. In a calm way He explained everything that had been happening. As He shared a meal with them, they suddenly realised that it was Jesus who was them. They were changed people after meeting with Jesus. They saw things differently and immediately made the potentially dangerous journey back to Jerusalem to tell the other disciples about what had happened.

Whatever circumstances we find ourselves in today, may we too know God's closeness and be changed as we allow Him to speak deeply into us. May we lift up our eyes to God on a regular basis.
