This message reflects on a moment when Jesus’ followers felt everything had fallen apart—His death shattered their hopes. Two disciples, grieving and confused on the road to Emmaus, are joined by Jesus, though they don’t recognize Him because God hides their understanding. Jesus listens to their doubts, gently challenges their unbelief, and explains how Scripture foretold the Messiah’s suffering and resurrection. Three truths stand out: Jesus wants to be part of every thought and decision—not to control, but to bring life; focusing on circumstances can blind us to His presence; and walking with Jesus brings transformation. The story shows Jesus meeting people in pain, patiently revealing Himself through Scripture and relationship, awakening faith not through miracles, but through closeness with Him.
