Genesis 8:20-9:29; Job 11:1-12:25; Matthew 6:1-18

What kind of conversation is this that you have with one another as you walk and are sad? Luke 24:17 NKJV

With sadness, the two on the road to Emmaus were discussing the recent unsettling events in Jerusalem. All their  hope had perished at the cross, when Jesus was crucified. Or so they thought. But God had raised His only Son from the dead! “He is not here, but is risen!” (Luke 24:6). Death could not hold Him and we have the full assurance of eternal life in Him. Rejoice in the Lord Jesus Christ. —Annette Baal

Up from the grave He arose;
With a mighty triumph o’er His foes;
He arose a Victor from the dark domain,
And He lives forever with His saints to reign. —R. Lowry
