About Our Name
Luke 24:13-35 "The Road to Emmaus"
You may find yourself stuck at home or commuting a hundred miles a day. Regardless of the distance you regularly travel, there is a road that we all find ourselves on. We all have a spiritual journey. We all have a Road to Emmaus.
In the Gospel of Luke, chapter 24, two friends were walking from Jerusalem to the town of Emmaus. While walking along, they had a very important encounter. A man they did not recognize walked along with them, discussing the events that weighed heavily on them. All day they walked together and talked together. At the end of that seven mile walk, they sat together for a meal. After prayer and the breaking of bread, these two friends realized this stranger was Jesus. They said to each other, ‘"were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking with us on the road, while he was opening the Scriptures to us?”
