The Road To Easter: The Emmaus Road
This week we conclude our Road to Easter series where we have been looking at the interaction Jesus had with people he was with, or encountered, on his travels in the days leading up to, and just after, his crucifixion. Today we will look at the two men Jesus met on the Road to Emmaus and see what we can learn from their encounter.
