THEME FOR WORSHIP
In today’s Gospel reading, Jesus hides Himself from the eyes of two disciples walking to the village of Emmaus. Later, in the breaking of the bread at dinner, Jesus reveals Himself to them, their eyes were opened. Jesus often does this in our lives also; God hides and reveals Himself according to His will. This should not trouble us, because Jesus always shows up where He promises to be: in holy Scripture, in the preaching of His Word and in the Lord’s Supper.
Even when you can’t see Him, your risen Lord Jesus Christ is always present with you, giving you forgiveness of sins, life and salvation!

THEME FOR WORSHIP
The Easter ham & other goodies, if not eaten, are perishing. If not already, the beautiful Easter hymns are fading away. Our holiday traditions may be over, but Easter Sunday is more than just tradition. And Easter matters more than just marking the historical resurrection of Jesus, the Son of God.
The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead does stuff! Christ risen changes things, for you! What stuff does it do and change? In today’s Epistle reading Saint Peter proclaims many gifts God gives to you through Jesus’ resurrection, all leading up to the salvation of your soul!
