Shattered … no more – Luke 24:13-35: Have you ever noticed how often we use the image of a road to describe our circumstances? If you feel stuck you might say "I've hit a roadblock." If you have a decision to make between multiple options, you'll say "I'm at a crossroads." If something unexpected happens that keeps you from moving forward, you might say, "I've hit a bump in the road." Sometimes we use roads to get somewhere, and sometimes we use them to get away from somewhere.  Roads are an apt way for us to look at our lives, because we are all on a journey. This weekend we'll join two travelers as they walk the road from Jerusalem to Emmaus. It's the third day since the body of their Rabbi was placed in a tomb - along with all their shattered hopes and dreams. But what we'll discover through their story is how the course of person's life can change after an encounter with the risen Christ.  -- Pastor Scott
