the road to Emmaus page 3 by ric Gustafson
" The things about Jesus the Nazarene who was a prophet mighty in deed and word in the sight of God and all the people".
His friend spoke up. " The chief priests and our rulers delivered him to the sentence of death and crucified him".
Cleopas sighed. " We were hoping that it was he who was going to redeem Israel".
" And then something happened?".
" What happened?" Jesus replied.
Cleopas scratched his chin. " After three days, some of the women went to the tomb early in the morning". His voice hesitated. " They did not find his body".
" The women said that they had seen a vision of angels who told him that he was alive".
His friend grinned at Jesus. " Some of those who went with us went to the tomb and found it exactly as the women had said".
Jesus looked at them with loving eyes. " O foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken". He grinned at them. " Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into his glory".
