First an aside, I am really hoping strongly that Fox Sports Southwest decides to show the Rangers/Brewers game tomorrow evening as opposed to another tease!
It's called "Good Friday" through Christendom but for those two disciples journeying from Jerusalem to Emmaus, there was nothing good about it. The death of Jesus was the death of every dream they'd had. The death of Jesus was the death of their hope for a liberating Messiah.
"We had hoped it was he..." How often does life's circumstances serve as a needle prick in the inflatable lifeboat called hope? How does hope float through circumstances which seem so hopeless?
Tomorrow morning, we are going "On the Road Again" - the Emmaus Road - to see how Jesus infuses hope in the midst of our most hopeless cirucmstances.
