the road to Emmaus page 2 by ric gustafson
" The things about Jesus the Nazarene who was a prophet 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?".
Jesus grinned. " What happened?".
" After three days, some of the women went to the tomb early in the morning". Cleopas scratched his chin. " They did not find his body".
" A vision of angels told them he was alive". His friend smiled. " Some went to the tomb and found it exactly as the women had said".
" O foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken". Jesus looked at the two with loving eyes. " Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?".
