In each year, on the fourth Sunday of Easter, the Revised Common Lectionary invites us to consider John 10. Why? They don’t say. They leave behind the resurrection appearances. Maybe they want us to look back at these earlier stories about Jesus and our relationship to him with the knowledge of his resurrection firmly in […]
A Children’s Sermon on Luke 24:13-35 — The Walk to Emmaus
This children’s sermon on Luke 24:13-35 is a bit long, to be quite honest. But the story of Cleophas and the unnamed disciple meeting Jesus on the road to Emmaus, and again at table in the breaking of the bread, is so lovely I wanted to tell it all. And I suspect that if a […]
