Luke, the beloved physician gives to the reader from St Luke 24 the article and news of the afternoon of two Christian disciples in their dilemma of failing hope.
Cleopas and the other disciple, unnamed, (but believed by many to be St. John) were walking the seven-mile journey from Jerusalem to Emmaus. They appeared sad and just simply taken in left field with quandaring thoughts, “Why did our Jesus do this to us?”
For you see, Jesus of Nazareth had given his followers three years of teaching, guidance, and hope that He would establish a new kingdom, a new way, and a Hope for a troubled world! It had all come to a sudden shatter just three days ago.
