Encountering the risen Jesus

As we celebrated Easter Sunday, Ben spoke about Jesus’ transformative meeting with two discouraged disciples as they walked from Jerusalem to Emmaus, talking (or perhaps arguing) together and finally recognising him through the familiar gesture of breaking bread.

‘Resurrection power triumphs, God’s love is victorious.’ How can we live in the light of that reality? Jesus walks with us, he can handle our pain and anything we’re wrestling with; Jesus is present in our ordinary lives; Jesus sends us to day-to-day places to demonstrate his glorious, powerful, resurrecting love as we pray, care, listen, share and welcome others. The reading is Luke 24:13-35. You can listen here or using the player below.
