John D. Witvliet
Sermon at Eastern Ave. Christian Reformed Church
Grand Rapids, Michigan
April 3, 2005
The Emmaus narrative of Luke 24 is about one of the most remarkable
"lightbulb moments" in the Bible. Two disciples begin their
journey depressed and confused. But they end up running
right back to Jerusalem to announce the news that they had
seen the risen Lord. While we don’t have the
just-raised human Jesus walking next to us in same way as
he was present at Emmaus, Jesus is surely present. Through
the Holy Spirit, we have walking with us nothing less than
the body of Christ, the church.
