Easter isn’t over…it has just begun! Easter continues and is celebrated for 50 days after Easter Sunday ending with Pentecost.
During this time Jesus appeared to his friends and followers talking to them and preparing them to go out and spread the good news of Jesus. The Emmaus story tells us that the disciples did not recognise Jesus and could not understand what Jesus was telling them. Sometimes things in our lives don’t make sense to us. Even if we know God is at work, we have a difficult time understanding what He might be doing. It is important to find daily blessings in our lives and to open our hearts and minds and to recognise Jesus in the everyday.
Blessings are all around us if we expect them and look for them.
The Story of Jesus' appearance to his disciples is called ‘The Road To Emmaus’ which can be found in the Bible in the book of Luke chapter 24 verse 13-25.
