Risen Indeed!

Pastor Jonathan explores the Emmaus road story, highlighting how the disciples, despite knowing the facts and seeing Jesus, didn't recognize him until he opened the scriptures and was revealed in the breaking of the bread. Sight is not the primary way we encounter the risen Christ. Instead, like the disciples, we see and receive Jesus today through the hearing and receiving of God's Word in scripture and through participation in the Supper (Communion). This encounter transforms us and allows us to confidently proclaim, "Christ is risen indeed!" even without seeing him physically.
