Recognizing Jesus in the Breaking of the Bread

Rev. Madeline shares a children’s sermon about a post-Easter resurrection story in which Jesus appears to his disciples on the road but they do not recognize him at first. After they invite him to stay for a meal, they recognize him when he blesses and breaks the bread. She asks why this moment revealed Jesus, and a child suggests it is because Jesus often blessed and broke bread with his disciples. Rev. Madeline connects this to the Last Supper, when Jesus instituted what is now known as communion or the Eucharist. She explains that gathering at the altar and coming to the communion rail is a way to recognize Jesus, and she prays that everyone would recognize and feel Jesus’ love there.00:00 Morning Greeting00:05 Easter Road Encounter00:47 Recognizing Jesus in Bread01:27 Last Supper and Communion
