Many things happened on Resurrection Sunday, the most important day in all of history. It started out with Jesus rising from the dead…although we don’t know exactly what time that happened. The first event in the Bible is Mary and Mary Magdalene coming to the tomb “early in the morning” of that special Sunday, and finding the stone rolled away. After hearing the good news from an angel and also from Jesus Himself, they told the disciples. Peter and John ran to the tomb to see for themselves. It was really hard for them to understand that what the women told them was true.
It was later the same day that two disciples were walking home from Jerusalem to Emmaeus. They knew that Jesus had been crucified, and they had heard that the tomb was empty and that some had said they had seen Him, but they were still confused. They talked as they walked about all that had happened the past few days.
It was on this trip that Jesus joined them. They didn’t know who He was—certainly they didn’t expect to see Him on their way to Emmaeus. Jesus spoke to them about what the Scriptures taught about what had happened, but they didn’t recognize Him until they got to Emmaeus and invited Him to eat the evening meal with them. As soon as Jesus blessed and broke the bread, they knew Him and He was gone! They hurried back to Jerusalem to tell the disciples that truly, Jesus was alive!
We’ll fill in the rest of the story this Sunday, and have a fun play about the trip to Emmaeus. You’ll want to be there, and it would be a good Sunday to invite a friend. See you then!
