After Jesus's death, two men walk on the road to Emmaus. They talked together about all these things which had happened. Not knowing it was Jesus a man began to walk with them. Jesus asked them what they were talking about. They answered, "Jesus of Nazareth which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people." Grief and reasoning cause trouble. Why else would Jesus come alongside? Remember the story of the prophet's bones the enemy was coming and the burial of a man was interrupted they placed his body in the tomb of the prophet. The dead man fell on the bones of the prophet and he came back to life. If we only could use a stopwatch as they ran from the enemy and looking back the man they carried into the field is running behind them.Personell bests were ran that day! The callings of God never stop or end. But in their grief and reasoning, they said to the man walking with them, "Which was a prophet." They went on to say, "We trusted that it had been He which should have redeemed Israel." Past tense of trust, faith on life support, a throwing up of the hands. The unimaginable happened. And besides all this some of our company made us astonished, angels told them, "He was alive." God honors life. Even weak and failing life, even caged living people, or sick and hungry, death cannot be outrun. So turn and preserve life from that which is deadly. This may be the day God opens their eyes in faith, believing. Faith without works is dead.
