Luke 24:13-53, The Road to Emmaus


Jesus is walking right next to you

Luke 24:13-53 describes Jesus appearing to two men on their way from Jerusalem to Emmaus after His resurrection. The men don’t realize that it is Jesus walking with them on the seven mile trip as they are focused on trying to figure out their disappointments.

This story causes me to ask the question, What are the “things” in our lives that distract us from realizing that Jesus is walking right next to us through life?
Even in our hardest, lowest times in life Jesus is right beside us the whole way. But many times, because of our focus on our disappointments, frustrations, challenges, distractions etc., we forget that Jesus is right there with us. Jesus desires to guide us through life especially through our hard times. So my challenge to you is to evaluate your life and ask God to show you the areas of your life that are causing you to forget that Jesus is our focus. Hebrews 12:2 says; Fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and protector of our faith.

Let’s take our focus off the “things” of our life and set them on Jesus!
