Daily Bible Reading — Sustained By God’s Word Of Hope

DAY 22 OF 30

  

April 22

Introduction

Two disciples meet Jesus on the road to Emmaus. Not recognizing him, they tell him what had happened the past few days. After sharing a meal with him, they realize he is Jesus raised from the dead. Then they return to Jerusalem and share this good news with others. Jesus then appears to his disciples, promises that they will receive power from above, and is then taken up to heaven.

Today’s Scripture: Luke 24:26 (GNT)

[Jesus said:] “Was it not necessary for the Messiah to suffer these things and then to enter his glory?”

Today’s Reading 

Luke 24:13-53

Reflect

Why didn’t the two disciples who met Jesus on the road to Emmaus recognize him right away? At what point did they recognize him? Why? How does one recognize Jesus today?  How do the disciples respond when Jesus appears to them? What did they do after Jesus ascended into heaven? Reread verse 47. What does this verse teach about the role of Christians today?

Pray

Lord Jesus, you are always in our midst—in the smile of a stranger, in the hands of those who work for justice, in arms outstretched in love. Forgive me for the times when I fail to recognize you. Heighten my awareness of your presence, that I may stay attuned to your way. Amen.

Prayer Concern
