Learning to Including Jesus: Are You Having A Discussion About Him or With Him?

Two disciples were on the road to Emmaus discussing the events of the crucifixion. Jesus was on their lips yet they walked in despair. But why? In this episode, Gabrielle encourages us to recognize the difference between having a discussion about Jesus and having a conversation that includes Jesus. 

Scriptures mentioned:
Luke 24:13-18 TPT
Later that Sunday, two of Jesus’ disciples were walking from Jerusalem to Emmaus, a journey of about seventeen miles. They were in the midst of a discussion about all the events of the last few days when Jesus walked up and accompanied them in their journey.

See that I have a body of flesh and bone.” He showed them his pierced hands and feet and let them touch his wounds.

I told you that everything written about me would be fulfilled, including all the prophecies from the law of Moses through the Psalms and the writings of the prophets—that they would all find their fulfillment.”
