Scripture Talk: Luke 24:13-35 (2022) Scripture Talk by Grace Church

So much of the Gospels feel like a fantasy land to us. We know that they tell of true events, but their ability to directly access Christ in a tangible way - to walk with him, talk with him - is so far from our own faith experience. The Road to Emmaus, in Luke 24, is different though. Yes, they talk directly to Jesus but only recognize him at the last moment. This is a faith experience that we can have, where we realize in retrospect, that God was there with us the whole way. Pastor Trey, Sister Brandy, Pastor Scott, and Stacy point out that this is also an experience that we are meant to have together.
