Easter Wednesday
Gospel – Luke 24:13-35
“Jesus himself came up and walked by their side”. These two disciples were walking away from Jerusalem. They were disappointed. They were in despair. The had great hopes about the things that they thought are going to happen. But everything changed with the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Their confusion increased with the testimony of the women. With all these despair and confusion, they decided to leave their place of hope, Jerusalem. They are walking away from Jerusalem, and we read, “Jesus himself came up and walked by their side”. Jesus came up to them and walked by their side. The Risen Christ is the God who comes up to us when we are walking away from faith and from hope. He comes up to us and walk by our side. Listen to whatever we want to say. Then He explains the plan of God for us. So, Risen Christ is not someone way, but He is the one who walks by our side when we walk away from Jerusalem. Let’s reflect: Easter is the faith in the Risen Christ who walks at my side when I am walking away from faith and hope.
