Sermon 5-6-01 Rd to Emmaus Communion
Complacent, disturbed, confused, upset regarding faith in Christ
-attitude of disciples
-our attitude sometimes
Recalling the story of salvation
Recalling our journey of faith
-Jesus reminds them
-the disciples remembered
-their hearts burned within them
-we must remember the story
-we must remember our story
Moments of awakening
-yes there are moments of dispair
-there are also moments of awakening
-in times of despair we pray for an awakening
-we keep the faith, knowing God is faithful
-sometimes awakening comes right after despair
-sometimes tied to the sovereignty of God
[they were kept from recognizing him]
When the bread is broken
-God has shown his faithfulness, we remember it in communion
-it is also when we open our hearts & the spirit can break in
-Jesus said, do this and remember me
-as disciples broke bread, the presence of Christ was revealed
