After Jesus' resurrection, he appeared to a number of his followers, including two on the road to Emmaus. As they walked, they talked about the events surrounding Jesus' crucifixion. Suddenly, Jesus appeared and walked with the, but they didn't recognize him. It's often the same in our lives. Jesus is right there with us in joy and sorrow, in pain, disillusionment, and struggles, yet we are slow to recognize and benefit from his presence. When the Emmaus Road travelers reached their destination, they in invited Jesus to join them for a meal. As they engaged in this everyday event, they suddenly recognized Jesus. He is still with us today, in the fabric of our daily lives. Open your eyes. Recognize his presence and accept His saving power. Don't allow distractions and procrastination to slow you down.
