| Emmaus |
Luke 24:12 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened. 15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? 18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days? 19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: 20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. 21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. 22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; 23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. 24 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: 26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? 27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further. 29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. 30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. 31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. 32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, 34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.

| The Three Blind Mice at Emmaus |
 |
| Matthew 15:14 14 Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. |
GJ - The three Objective Justification sects meet yearly at Emmaus to increase the damage they have caused to the Gospel. In a few more years, they will be ready to join ELCA, bawling on her shoulders, hoping the terms for reconciliation will be merciful.
This reading from Luke should never be neglected, because the risen Lord - the Exegete, according to the Apostle John - explained the Scriptures concerning Himself, starting with the Books of Moses.
Genesis 1:1 begins with the Father commanding and the Logos executing the will of the Father, as witnessed by the Holy Spirit. This is explained and expanded in John 1, which also starts "In the beginning..."
This is a unique perspective on time, which belongs only to God. The timeline for the Son of God was established down to the smallest details in the Old Testament. The Old and New Testaments are woven together completely. They are one unified Truth - The Book of the Holy Spirit.
The battle is over in the Lutheran Synods, from ELCA down to the twitching fragments of Waltherdom. They have outgrown Luther and the Bible. Now they are openly marketing Calvinism, Rationalism, and their need for funds for more of the same.
