Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

One of the things I really appreciate about the Scriptures is their honesty -- the people in these pages aren't superheroes! They're just like us. They fail and sin. They get confused. They are slow to learn. So it was with those two disciples as they left Jerusalem after the Passover. They were sad and dejected, just as we would have been. Just as we often are. So Jesus comes to these two. He doesn't expect them to figure it out on their own. We need to be taught. We need to be straightened out.
