The Righteous Rejoice.

The Journey To Emmaus

Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 16, 2024

The gospel reading we just read about Jesus' journey to Emmaus with two persons is one of my favourite resurrection stories and possibly my favourite from the Gospel of Luke. Over the twenty-six years of my ministry, among many other texts in the Gospels, this is one of the most-loved stories I ...read more

God's Tender Mercies

Contributed by Michael Stark on May 29, 2008

When we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world.” No doubt the title of the message appears strange to some people.
