Road to Nowhere

Today we find two followers of Jesus walking along the road to Emmaus. Emmaus was a seven mile walk from Jerusalem. They are leaving behind the bitter memories of Jerusalem and are walking to the Village of Emmaus. A place that had no prominence. Frederick Buechner describes, "Emmaus was not so much a place--as a state of mind." Emmaus is the state of mind they were in when they knew the death that took place on Friday, but not the larger reality that had emerged on Sunday. Emmaus could be any place we go to avoid dealing with life and ourselves. Wherever it may take us, it’s ultimately the wrong direction, away from God. Join us as we travel the Road to Nowhere.
