With the Word on the Way

With the Word on the Way

This Easter season sermon explores the post-resurrection appearance of Jesus to two disciples on the road to Emmaus, emphasizing how Jesus patiently corrects our misunderstandings and opens our minds to understand Scripture. The message highlights the journey from “slow hearts” to “burning hearts” as Jesus walks alongside us, even when we don’t immediately recognize Him. The sermon emphasizes that Easter is not just one day but an entire season (Eastertide), and that the resurrection has ongoing consequences for believers today. Through the interplay of the written Word, the living Word (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit, God continues to remind us of forgotten truths, correct partial understandings, and bring Scripture to life in fresh ways. The sermon concludes with the promise that Jesus doesn’t leave us as orphans but sends the Holy Spirit to guide, teach, and remind us of everything He has taught.
