In this episode, as we continue reflecting on stories of conversion, we’ll look at the resurrection appearance of Jesus to the disciples on the road to Emmaus, found only in the Gospel of Luke. In this story, two disciples are walking away from Jerusalem after the death of Jesus. As they try to process the traumatic event, Jesus himself joins them, though they don’t recognize him.
Jesus helps them to understand the suffering and death of the Messiah through scripture and they finally begin to recognize him when he breaks bread with them. These disciples had certain expectations about the Messiah, but were disillusioned when Jesus was put to death. Their conversion was one of being called to a more profound faith in the redemptive suffering of Christ.
Luke tells us that their hearts were burning within them. What does it feel like? Let's imagine it together.
