Bible verse:

But these are written so that you may believe that

Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by

believing you may have life in his name. John 20:31

Today’s Point:

The Bible was written so I can believe.

Bible Story:

Encounter on the Road (Luke 24:13-35)

Two men were walking toward the village of Emmaus talking about everything that had

happened during the last week. Jesus joined them, but they did not recognize Him. The men

began explaining everything that had happened to Jesus and that He was a great Prophet.

Jesus began telling them about Himself using Scripture to explain why all the things had

happened. When they arrived in Emmaus, Jesus stayed and ate with them. As Jesus tore the

bread and gave pieces to the men, they recognized Him. Jesus immediately disappeared from

their sight. The men returned to Jerusalem and told the disciples about their amazing encounter

with the risen Jesus.

Family Activity

You can let your family be as creative as they want in chalking your walks with the good

news about Jesus, here is a starter idea.: Pick your favorite verse from the Bible that

talks about Jesus (John 3:16 and Romans 5:8 are great places to start), write them on

your sidewalk, and draw pictures to illustrate them.

Emmaus)

said her name; she recognized His voice.)

Parent Devotional

Sometimes we don’t see things because we aren’t looking and sometimes we don’t see them

because we don’t expect them to be there. And, in God’s own plan and blessing, sometimes we

are prevented from seeing … until just the right time.

On the day of Jesus’ resurrection two of His followers were making the approximately 7-mile

trek from Jerusalem back to their home in Emmaus. The men were talking about the events of

the last few days and the reports from the women and the disciples about Jesus’ resurrection.

A man fell into step with them and joined their conversation. My mind races with questions.

Why these two guys? They weren’t part of the inner circle. Why the mysterious “so what’s up

guys” approach? God’s choices and timing are amazing and mind-boggling. Two ordinary guys

were chosen by God to hear the full explanation of the gospel from Genesis to this true

moment of revelation.

The trio arrived in Emmaus near day’s end and the two travelers invited their new friend to

stay for the evening meal. As they prepared to eat, Jesus broke the bread and blessed it. At

that moment Jesus’ identity was revealed. The men were astounded … and Jesus disappeared.

My imagination is fired up again! Did they jump up from the table too excited to eat and race

back to Jerusalem? Did they grab a hunk of that precious blessed and broken bread to sustain

them for that 7-mile sprint back to Jerusalem? Either way, an unexpected face-to-face

encounter with Jesus was not an experience to keep to themselves. The other disciples had to

know!

Knowing Jesus is life-changing. Experiencing His presence is something that has to be shared.
