bullet"'Beginning at Jerusalem,' must surely mean begin at home"
bulletFrom The People's New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.

bulletContemporary Commentary, Studies, and Exegesis:
bullet Comments (commentary) and Clippings (technical notes for in-depth study), Chris Haslam, Anglican Diocese of Montreal.
bullet "New Vistas for a Misguided Hope," Kenneth E. Bailey, Presbyterian Outlook, 2008. (Requires free registration.)
bullet"Jesus’ words to Cleopas go significantly beyond Aeschylus. For Jesus it is not merely wisdom that emerges from the Cross, but glory."
bullet "First Thoughts on Year A Gospel Passages in the Lectionary: Easter 3," William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
bullet"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."
bullet "Practice Resurrection," Blogging toward Sunday, Craig T. Kocher, Theolog: The Blog of The Christian Century, 2008.
bullet"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."
bullet Exegetical Notes by Brian Stoffregen at CrossMarks Christian Resources.
bullet"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."
bullet "A Moment of Recognition," study guide for adults, Robert B. Kruschwitz, (other resources at) "Food and Hunger," Christian Reflection, The Center for Christian Ethics at Baylor University, 2004.
bullet "The Eighth Day," study guide, Robert B. Kruschwitz, (other resources at) "Sabbath," Christian Reflection, The Center for Christian Ethics at Baylor University, 2002.
bullet Exegesis, Luke 24:13-35, Frank M. Yamada, Lectionary Homiletics sample.
bullet"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."
bullet "Rx for Heartburn," Sharron R. Lucas, Stewardship of Life Institute, ELCA.
bullet"What’s the prescription for such heartburn in the 21st century? The remedy hasn’t changed much since Cleopas’ day: witness."
bullet "Consorting with Aliens," Colón-Emeric, Edgardo Antonio, The Christian Century, 2005.
bullet"Luther would say that Jesus reveals himself by hiding himself under contrary appearance."
bullet "Road Trip," Amy B. Hunter, The Christian Century, 2002.
bullet"...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."
bullet "A New Context," Larry Broding's Word-Sunday.Com: A Catholic Resource for This Sunday's Gospel. (Easter 3B) Adult Study, Children's Story, Family Activity, Support Materials.
bullet"Have you ever experienced something so strange you had to re-orient your thinking to explain the experience? What happened?"
bullet "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.
bullet"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."
bullet "Fresh Evidence," Kristen Bargeron Grant, The Christian Century, 2003.
bullet"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."
bullet Luke 24:36b-48 at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary's An Exegetical Study of the Common Lectionary, coordinated by Prof. John E. Alsup, features rough translation, disposition, immediate context, broader context, hermeneutical bridge, and contemporary address.
bullet "Touch and See," F. Dean Lueking The Christian Century, 1997. At Religion Online.
bullet"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."
bullet "Holy Heartburn," Susan R. Andrews. Commentary from The Christian Century, April, 1999. At Religion Online.
bullet"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?"
bullet "Dinner with Jesus," Jerry Goebel, One Family Outreach. "Focus on scripture from a justice perspective." Exegesis, study, and teen study and activities.
bullet"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!"
bullet "To All the Nations..." Jerry Goebel, One Family Outreach. "Focus on scripture from a justice perspective." Exegesis, study, and teen study and activities.
bullet"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."
bullet "Picturing a Vanishing," commentary by Ronald Goetz from The Christian Century, 1990. At Religion Online.
bullet"Human love, which gives existence its viability and purpose -- both our love of God and our love of neighbor -- is spontaneous, fragile and fleeting."
bullet "First Thoughts on Year B Gospel Passages in the Lectionary: Easter 3," William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
bullet"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."
bulletExegetical Notes by Brian Stoffregen.
bullet"Every time "hamartia" (= "sin") is used in Luke, it is with "apheimi" (= "forgiveness")."
bullet Marginally Mark, by Brian McGowan, Anglican priest in Western Australia
bullet "Returning Home," Larry Broding's Word-Sunday.Com: A Catholic Resource for This Sunday's Gospel. (Easter 3A) Adult Study, Children's Story, Family Activity, Support Materials.
bullet"Did you ever leave the Church? Or, did you know someone who left and returned? Why did you or this other person return?"
bullet "The Walk to Emmaus," Rev. Bryan Findlayson, Lectionary Bible Studies and Sermons, Pumpkin Cottage Ministry Resources.
bullet"Discuss how cross-bearing discipleship might apply in your life."
bulletArticles & Background:
bullet "Resurrection Appearances of Jesus," wikipedia.
bullet "Entertaining Angels: Hospitality in Luke and Acts," Andrew Arterbury, (other resources at) "Hospitality," Christian Reflection, The Center for Christian Ethics at Baylor University, 2007.
bullet"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."
bullet "On the Third Day: God's Promise Fulfilled - the Meaning of the Resurrection of Christ," NT Wright, The Christian Century, 2003.
bullet"Listening with the Ear of the Heart," Frank T. Griswold, Cross Currents, 1998-99.
bullet"It is our vocation to allow 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."
