HAPPENINGS WITH KID’S JUNCTION
Sunday Reflection (April 23, 2023)
Our Gospel Reading is about two men who were troubled by the crucifixion of Jesus. Their hopes had been dashed. As they walked home from Jerusalem to Emmaus, a stranger joined their journey (Luke 24:13-35). The stranger expounded the Scripture as it related to a crucified Messiah. They finally put it all together and understood when in the “breaking of bread,” their eyes were opened when they understood that it was the resurrected Christ who had been speaking to them.
Despite our proclamation and participation in the Lord’s Supper, do we always get it right regarding a crucified Messiah? What about the times we would rather lash out than hold our tongue, return blow for blow and punch for punch and feed our anger and plot revenge? Are there times we would rather mete out punishment with no thought of seeking to be reconciled? When will we finally and fully understand what it means to follow a crucified Messiah? May we live out what has been revealed to us in Jesus Christ.
