Walking with Christ
unaware of the teacher’s name
sorrowful, heavy laden
the weight of the death of the Master
the Shepherd slain, the sheep bewildered
Walking with Christ
the disciples going home
not knowing the rest of the story
still needing to be taught
Walking with Christ
hearing the word
explained bit by bit
prophet by prophet
all one Messiah,
his life, his death,
his resurrection, all foretold
Walking with Christ
calling him in
to share a dinner, a bed for the night
His name revealed; this is the Christ
risen, walking with them
in his blessing, in his breaking of the bread
and then he vanished from their presence.
This wonder must be told.
