He Appeared: The Road to Emmaus // Pastor Dean Herman

In our series “He Appeared,” we’re exploring the moments after the resurrection when Jesus revealed Himself to His followers. In this message, we look at the powerful story from Luke 24 of Jesus appearing to two disciples on the Road to Emmaus.As these two followers walked away from Jerusalem confused, discouraged, and heartbroken, Jesus came alongside them, even though they didn’t recognize Him at first. Instead of immediately revealing Himself, Jesus opened the Scriptures, showing how everything in the Old Testament pointed to Him.Through this story we discover an important truth:The solution to our confusion is Scripture.Just like the disciples, we often face disappointment, unanswered questions, and seasons where we don’t see what God is doing. But this passage reminds us that Jesus walks with us even when we don’t recognize Him, and when we turn to His Word, our eyes begin to open.In this message we learn:How Jesus meets us in our disappointmentWhy Scripture brings clarity in confusing timesWhy our faith must be grounded in God’s Word, not just experiencesHow a true encounter with Jesus leads us to share Him with othersIf this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs hope today.
