Synopsis

In this episode, we explore the story of Jesus appearing to his disciples on the road to Emmaus after his resurrection. You'll learn:

• How the disciples were feeling hopeless and confused after Jesus' death and the discovery of the empty tomb
• The significance of Jesus entering a "God-forsaken" place on the cross and defeating death, showing that God is with us even in the darkest moments
• How Jesus revealed himself to the disciples in the breaking of bread, causing their hearts to burn with renewed hope
• The importance of community in celebrating the good news of Easter and supporting each other through the highs and lows of faith

This message will encourage you to find hope in the resurrection, knowing that because of Jesus' victory over death, there is no place or situation that is beyond God's presence and redemption.
