What kind of conversation is this that you have with one another as you walk and are sad?
Luke 24:17
The two disciples of Jesus were downcast as they trudged home from a Passover gone terribly wrong. Their Lord had been slain on Friday. Saturday had been a miserable Sabbath as they were unable to return to the comfort of their homes, and on Sunday they began the journey to Emmaus, discussing the tragic events.

A Stranger joined them and asked, "What kind of conversation is this that you have with one another as you walk and are sad?" The Stranger proceeded to give them a tour of the Old Testament, showing them God's plan of redemption. He explained from the Law, Prophets, and Psalms how the Messiah had to die and rise again. Arriving in Emmaus, the Stranger revealed Himself. They had been walking with the Risen Lord!
The greatest encouragement we will ever know is the encouragement of knowing the Christ who rose on Easter Sunday. He walks with us and talks with us and tells us we are His own. What indescribable joy is ours—to know our Risen Savior.
AND THE STONE WAS ROLLED AWAY!!!
Have a great day
