Detours are rarely convenient and often frustrating. However, as we’ll see in our text today, it’s often in the detour, not the destination, that we recognize Jesus. In Luke 24, Jesus has just risen from the grave. However, we’re going to see how Jesus carefully and compassionately deals with two people’s crushed hopes and expectations. Like these two people on the road to Emmaus, Jesus wants to take our crushed hopes and our unrealistic expectations and reframe them around His words AND in the breaking of bread.
