I can understand, I’m not
sure I would have seen him
knowing this was Christ, on
the Emmaus Road;
They didn’t recognize him at
first
the Messiah, their Master,
their Teacher;
their minds lost, reeling,
walking homeward
rudderless, lost, wondering
what is to come
Their thoughts on the cross,
on the tomb,
on the tomb empty, no
answers, lost
A stranger, joining them,
seemingly unaware
distraction from the pain,
the sense of loss;
But sharing, teaching,
explaining
revealing the Master’s plan
all along
Recognizing Him, as the
Christ, as their Shepherd
in the way He took the
bread, blessing the loaf,
the way He broke the bread,
sharing the meal with them;
Hope came alive in the
instant
in that moment of
recognition
Christ is risen; He is
alive!
The prophesies all
fulfilled,
so that we can know
we too shall live.
Christ comes to each of us
on our Emmaus Road.
