Today we place ourselves on the road to Emmaus with two of Jesus’ disciples who are heart-broken and stricken with grief over the events that have taken place in Jerusalem. As they walk the road, a stranger meets them and transforms despair into hope!

I wonder if we might need a little hope in the midst of our own despair? If so, let us worship God this day asking for hope, and opening our hearts to God so that we might see and recognize the resurrected Christ in our midst.
