the road to Emmaus page 1 by ric gustafson
Cleopas and his friend walked along a dusty road. They knew they were near the village of Emmaus. The village was about seven miles from Jerusalem. Both of them were tired and sad. They had just witnessed the brutal death of their teacher and savior. They were discussing that as they walked.
They came up to a crossroads. Cleopas looked to his left to see a young man approach. He had a dark beard. He gave them a smile.
" Would you mind if I walk with you toward the village?".
" No". The three of them started to walk down the road.
As they walked, Jesus listened to their conversation.
" What are these words that you are exchanging as you walk?".
Cleopas turned toward the stranger. He could not place his face.
Both men stopped and stared at the stranger.
Cleopas spoke up. " Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem and unaware of the things which have happened here in these days?".
Jesus looked at their bewildered faces. " What things?".
