’Tis Eastertide: No One Walks Alone
Excerpts
Jesus Christ walking with His disciples on the road to Emmaus reveals a covenant pattern. … As we walk by faith with Him, abiding in Him, and He in us, we come to know He lives. His Easter promises are real.
Each Sabbath we invite all to come worship Jesus Christ in the community of His restored Church. …
Just as the disciples on the road to Emmaus ask Jesus to abide with them, Jesus Christ promises to abide with us. …
When we have a question, problem, or joy, Jesus Christ says, “I am your answer—your way, your truth, your life.”
To abide with us, in John 14 Jesus promises us the First and Second Comforters. The First Comforter Jesus speaks of is the Holy Ghost. …
The Second Comforter Jesus speaks of is Himself. …
As we “seek … first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness,” we follow Jesus Christ and the Lord’s prophet willingly, obediently, joyfully. We are richly blessed as we do so. …
Jesus Christ’s Atonement changes everything. It brings literal resurrection. It can enable our return to the presence of God and the eternal uniting of families. We can heal, reconcile, abide in covenant belonging. …
As we walk our dusty roads to Emmaus, He will be with us. If you see someone walking alone and sad, will you please walk with them? No one sits alone, and no one should walk their road to Emmaus alone or unseen.
