ReverendRefThe gospel for this Sunday, #Easter3A is from #Luke and is the Road to Emmaus story.
There’s a bit where they approach the town and Jesu keeps walking as if to go on ahead. The two disciples urge him to stay because it’s getting late.
That’s always intrigued me.
By my count, there are three other stories where angels/Jesus are invited to stay because they act like they’re passing by:
1) Abraham invites the three men to stay and eat;
2) Lot invites the two angels to stay with him rather than in the town square;
3) Jesus walking on water intends to pass by the boat, but (I guess) gets in the boat to prove he’s not a ghost.
The sermon will address this issue of inviting people in.
