After the excitement and thrill of the Easter message it would be easy to view some of the subsequent events as an anti-climax, like the doubting and fearful disciples and the appearances of Jesus where He wasn’t recognised. An example of both of these is the story of  the two companions as they journey to Emmaus. As usual, Luke gives intriguing details that have much to teach us.

Jesus Changes Lives

Sometimes, we are so familiar with stories in the bible that we can skim over them and miss important truths. Gabriel’s visit to Mary to tell her she will give birth to a baby boy is one of those. But when we spend a little bit of time looking into the story, we can see that this birth was the coming to fruition of many prophecies in the Old Testament that refer to Jesus’s time on earth as a servant king and also looking forward to His second coming - when 'Seeing Salvation' will be revealed in all its glorious fullness.
