This week we hear the story of the disciples on the Road to Emmaus. Though the risen Jesus walked with them as they traveled, they did not recognize him. He taught and enlightened them as they walked and beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things about himself in all the scriptures. Still, it wasn't until he blessed and broke the bread that they recognized him, and in that moment, he was gone. Come join us as we pray, "be known to us, Lord Jesus, in the breaking of the bread."
