I always appreciate how this story connects to the Last Supper, and the basic way people spend time together - sharing food and drinks together.
*Read along in pg. 334-7 in Whirl Kids Story Bible, and you can also email tory@phumc.org if you need help following along in a different Story Bible.
Youth/Students
Today there is no video, but rather two questions:
The Road to Emmaus and Breakfast with Jesus, are both stories where the disciples struggle to recognize Jesus at first. Sometimes I wonder if they actually saw Jesus, or people and actions that reminded them of Jesus.
Is there a person or action today that makes you think of Jesus?
Do you inspire anyone with your love and habits?
Parents/Adults
A bit different, but here's a similar story of not recognizing Jesus right away - "The Uprising of Discipleship," Chapt. 33 in We Make the Road by Walking.
pg. 179 "This revolutionary plan of discipleship means that we must first and foremost be examples. We must embody the message and values of our movement. That doesn't mean we are perfect - just look at Peter. But it does mean we are growing and learning, always humble and wililng to get up again after we fall, always moving forward on the road we are walking."
