Each of us journeying
following our own path
each of us gathering
carrying our cross
We are the other disciple
unnamed, on the road
walking with Jesus
all the way home
He is beside us
on our path, in this walk
sharing our struggles and
triumphs
all of our lives
Christ is with us
His Spirit indwelling
calling us to go, to share
in the service the kingdom

The Other Disciple
Walk to Emmaus
September 30, 2010 to October 3, 2010
-------------------
Into this Story
We are called, our lives
revealed
our days written in this
story
in this journey of faith
leading home
Into this story we see
ourselves
the questioning disciples
unable to believe
proofs written, handed down
finding Christ, in the
breaking of the bread
in the sharing of a meal
with a stranger
unnamed though we are
we are there, walking
needing to know
to understand
needing to believe

Walk to Emmaus
after posting The Unnamed Disciples to Facebook
----
The Unnamed Disciples
With Cleopas, walking home
on the Road to Emmaus
Leaving Jerusalem, on a
journey
traveling from the city of
David
wondering what is to become
of His ministry
now that the Master is gone
So much pain, so much
confusion
not truly understanding
these things
Walking on that road
joined by a stranger,
seemingly unaware
unaware of the events which
have dominated our days
from the triumphant
entrance, hosannas and palms
to the cross, to death, to
the grave
Reports of the empty tomb,
of his rising
but emptiness mainly
The stranger sharing, what
is this he says
the prophecy of the Messiah
in the life of our Master
the scripture fulfilled
Walking homeward
entering in
Our savior lives!
in the breaking of bread
We are the unnamed disciple
walking with Christ
so unsure, so troubled
when we should have joy
instead
Believing, if we but walk with
him
look to the scripture, to
the words of old
his life, his ministry, all
of this foretold
The words he shared with
Cleopas, with us as well
as true today, as on the
road to Emmaus
the road home, to our Father
walking with our savior,
with our brother
Sharing the good news with
the others
until all of us have heard,
to the ends of the earth
