After the resurrection, two disciples of Jesus leave Jerusalem and head back to their home in Emmaus. On the road, they encounter the risen Jesus, but they do not realize it is Him at first. In this encounter between Jesus and His disciples, we learn to recognize the voice of God through Jesus, His Word, and His whisper. 

After millennia of exile, the Bible ends with a story of going home. The same God who sent us from Eden invites us back; the God who disciplines sin and engages brokenness, brings that sin and brokenness to an end. God will one day bring us home to a better place – or more truly, he’ll bring our true home to us. Jesus’ death happened for our life, and his resurrection ushered in his kingdom. We get to live as witnesses to God’s reign now, as we await his full kingdom, coming one day on earth as in heaven.
