For the fifth Sunday of Easter in “Year A,” the lectionary moves, perhaps inscrutably, to Maundy Thursday. John 14:1-14 This week’s text is John 14:1-14. In the previous chapter, Jesus washed the disciples’ feet and gave them the “new commandment.” In the following chapter, he will tell them that he is the vine and they […]
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 […]
