people in the Bible: Cleopas by ric Gustafson
Cleopas and a friend were returning to Emmaus. They had been in Jerusalem for Passover. While there, they encountered the crucifixion of Jesus. They were hoping that Jesus would declare himself to be the Messiah. Instead he was humiliated and put to death. Their hopes were dashed and their faith was in shambles.
As they walked home, a stranger asked what they were talking about. Not knowing it was Jesus, Cleopas told him all the events that had happened. Jesus explained to them that it was all part of God's plan. When they realized that it was Jesus, he was gone. If we are disappointed with God, Jesus will listen to us. We worship a living Lord.
Praise God.
