"New Vistas for a Misguided Hope," Kenneth E. Bailey,
Presbyterian Outlook, 2008. (Requires free registration.)
| "Jesus’ words to Cleopas go significantly beyond
Aeschylus. For Jesus it is not merely wisdom that emerges from the
Cross, but glory." |
|
|
"First
Thoughts on Year A Gospel Passages in the Lectionary: Easter 3,"
William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
| "The surreality of the invisible man
invites us beyond preoccupation with historical reconstruction to
engagement with ourselves and Christ’s presence in our own communities." |
|
|
"Practice Resurrection," Blogging toward Sunday,
Craig T. Kocher, Theolog: The Blog of The Christian Century, 2008.
| "The well-known Emmaus story could be an
opportunity to do some teaching, to direct the momentum of Easter
toward the practices of resurrection in our daily lives." |
|
|
Exegetical Notes
by Brian Stoffregen at CrossMarks Christian Resources.
| "There is a time to speak and a time to
listen. Sometimes resurrection enthusiasm needs some damping. Similarly,
as soon as they recognize that it is Jesus who is with them, he
disappears. Just when we think we've got Jesus all figured out -- he pulls
a new trick." |

Exegesis, Luke 24:13-35, Frank M. Yamada, Lectionary
Homiletics sample.
| "The message of today’s passage
within the context of Easter is clear. The faithful community of
Jesus’ followers is able to experience the risen Christ, in both the
faithful exposition of the word and through participation in the
Sacrament—in the breaking of bread." |
|
|
"Rx for Heartburn," Sharron R. Lucas, Stewardship of Life Institute,
ELCA.
| "What’s the prescription for such heartburn in
the 21st century? The remedy hasn’t changed much since Cleopas’ day:
witness." |

"Consorting with Aliens," Colón-Emeric, Edgardo Antonio,
The Christian Century, 2005.
| "Luther would say that Jesus
reveals himself by hiding himself under contrary appearance." |
|
|
"Road Trip," Amy B. Hunter, The Christian Century, 2002.
| "...Cleopas and his companion are
nobodies who have no idea what God might be doing. They could be any
one of us. Their road to Emmaus is an ordinary road, the road each
of us is on every day. This is what sets this story apart from other
accounts of Jesus’ Easter appearances." |

happened?" |

"Were Not
Our Hearts Burning within Us?"
Jerry Goebel, One
Family Outreach. "Focus on scripture from a justice perspective." Exegesis, study, and teen study
and activities.
| "Let’s act like
these disciples acted on that Easter Day so long ago. Let’s invite Jesus
to become part of our daily life. Let’s walk with him; study his word;
seek others who are hungry for him and then go serve him by taking the
in-burning fire (enthusiasm) of his love to everyone who needs Great
News." |

"Fresh Evidence," Kristen Bargeron Grant, The Christian Century,
2003.
| "We are witnesses when we can invite
someone to look into our homes, our families, our friendships, our work,
our checkbook, our daytimer--and find Jesus there." |

24:36b-48 at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary's An

address. |

"Touch
and See," F. Dean Lueking The Christian Century, 1997.
At Religion Online.
| "Touching can be as routine as
a handshake or a high five. It can be as exploitative as lustful
pawing, as threatening as a clenched fist. Or, as the Easter account
in Luke 24 proclaims, touching can be the means whereby the risen
Lord Jesus chooses to make himself known." |
|
|
"Holy
Heartburn," Susan R. Andrews. Commentary from The Christian
Century, April, 1999. At Religion Online.
| "How "fleshy" is
Jesus in our congregations? How persuasive is our teaching? How
passionate is our preaching? How much do our hearts burn within us
when the scriptures are opened to us? And how often do we recognize
the stranger as the living Christ in our midst?" |
|
|
"Dinner
with Jesus," Jerry Goebel, One
Family Outreach. "Focus on scripture from a justice perspective." Exegesis, study, and teen study
and activities.
| "Do you have a long and lonely walk
that seems filled with sorrow and doubt? Do you have a hurt which seems
difficult and confusing to bear? Invite Him! He is hungry to attend.
Invite Him! He can make the deepest loneliness and the longest journey
full of purpose and hope. Invite Him!" |
|
|
"To All
the Nations..."
Jerry Goebel, One
Family Outreach. "Focus on scripture from a justice perspective." Exegesis, study, and teen study
and activities.
| "We are the people called to share
meals with those hungry and lonely. We are the people called to BE a
proclamation of God’s forgiveness and inclusion." |
|
|
"Picturing
a Vanishing," commentary by Ronald Goetz from The Christian
Century, 1990. At Religion Online.
| "Human love, which gives
existence its viability and purpose -- both our love of God and our
love of neighbor -- is spontaneous, fragile and fleeting." |
|
|
"First
Thoughts on Year B Gospel Passages in the Lectionary: Easter 3," William
Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
| "For Luke, to fulfil the hope
of the resurrection is to tell the story of Jesus (testimony). That
means telling what he did, how he was rejected and then vindicated;
and it is at the same time to live it by the power of the same
Spirit, by doing good and bringing liberation for all. This includes
forgiveness of sins. It is radically simple." |
|
| Exegetical
Notes by Brian Stoffregen.
| "Every time "hamartia"
(= "sin") is used in Luke, it is with "apheimi"
(= "forgiveness")." |

return?" |

"Entertaining Angels: Hospitality in Luke and Acts," Andrew
Arterbury, (other resources at)
"Hospitality," Christian Reflection, The Center for Christian
Ethics at Baylor University, 2007.
| "In Luke’s
writings the ancient practice of hospitality—the custom of welcoming
travelers or strangers into one’s home and establishing
relationships with them—becomes the prism through which Jesus’
disciples can view one another and others as valuable children of
God." |

Christ to use our hearts. It is our vocation to come to maturity in Christ who is our
Truth. We do so by attending to the Christ present in the truth of one
another." |
