The Walk to Emmaus
Men's Walk No. 60 - Spring 2012 and Women’s Walk No. 61 - Spring 2012
The Gospel of St. Luke relates the story of the risen Christ appearing to two who were going along the road from Jerusalem to Emmaus. Two friends were walking together sharing their hearts deepest concerns. The risen Christ joined them and explained the scriptures as they walked, how it was ordained that Christ should suffer and so enter his glory. This experience on the road was a heart warming experience as the risen Christ walked and talked with them. The illuminating climax of the experience was when Christ took bread and said the blessing, then broke it and gave it to them. The two had their eyes opened and they recognized him as the risen Christ and they rushed back to Jerusalem to tell the others. (Luke 24:13-35)
The above story provides the image for Emmaus, an Upper Room program that calls forth and renews Christian discipleship. The Walk to Emmaus is designed for Christians who are active church members and their leaders who want to rekindle their faith or renew their vision. Emmaus is for people who want to grow spiritually and mature as disciples of Jesus Christ, who want to build up the church in love and contribute to its ministry.
God works wonders on the Walk to Emmaus!
