Read excerpt
“Follow me,” [Jesus] told him, and Matthew got up and followed him. — Matthew 9:9 Where I grew up in Canada, the church youth groups in the area would host an annual play competition. We wrote and performed our own plays, and the winning group received a trophy. To be clear, these were not Shakespearean masterpieces. The plays were often silly, with winding and unrealistic plots performed by teenagers who had little in the way of acting skills. But it was tremendously fun.When I was 18 years old

When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said . . . “Brothers, what shall we do?’’ — Acts 2:37 After Jesus ascended to heaven (Acts 1:9-11), he did exactly as he had promised his disciples.

Two disciples, walking home in deep discouragement, are met by the risen Jesus. As they recall this encounter, they speak of their hearts burning within them—and one of the key reasons for that transforming experience was their renewed encounter with the Scriptures. They describe how Jesus opened the Script

They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us . . . ?” — Luke 24:32 One of the ways we can speak of “resonance” is in terms of human connection. When a person says something that connects with us deeply, we might say, “Yes, that resonates with me,” or maybe, “I feel the same way. I’m totally in sync with you on that.”We can find resonance in spiritual experiences as well. This happens in our story for today, about two disciples on the road to Emmaus.
