Luke 24:13-32 362c6i

The sermon reflects on the story of the road to Emmaus, emphasizing the transformative power of radical hospitality and the recognition of Jesus in unexpected moments. ​ It highlights how Cleopas and another traveler, despite their grief, invited a stranger (Jesus) into their home, embodying the ancient Jewish value of welcoming strangers. ​ Through the breaking of bread, their eyes were opened, shifting from fear to joy, symbolizing new creation and life through Christ. ​ The message challenges Christians to embrace empathy, generosity, and kindness, countering the self-centeredness of modern culture. ​ It calls for a renewed perspective, urging believers to see the world through Jesus' eyes, filled with grace and possibility, and to extend radical hospitality to others. ​ The sermon concludes with a prayer for spiritual awakening and the courage to follow Jesus into a life of hope and transformation. 3o3342
