“Besides all that, this is now the third day since it happened.
22 Some of the women of our group surprised us; they went at dawn to the tomb,
23 but could not find his body. They came back saying they had seen a vision of angels who told them that he is alive.
24 Some of our group went to the tomb and found it exactly as the women had said, but they did not see him.”
25 Then Jesus said to them, “How foolish you are, how slow you are to believe everything the prophets said!
26 Was it not necessary for the Messiah to suffer these things and then to enter his glory?”
27 And Jesus explained to them what was said about himself in all the Scriptures, beginning with the books of Moses and the writings of all the prophets.”
Easter is a time of great expectation. Life after death. Spring after winter.
In this reading we see two of the disciples walking along the road discussing the events of the day and the past few days. A ‘stranger’ who wanted to know what they were discussing joined them. They were happy to tell Him but were unsure of what to believe.
When we are doing our everyday jobs or walking to or from the office do we discuss the events of the day. I’m sure that you like to discuss the news or sport. Do we discuss our faith? If someone came and joined in the conversation would we be able to, or willing to discuss the faith that we have in Jesus?
Should we treat everyone as though they are Jesus?
The two disciples did not recognize Him; would we?
