Cleopas and his companion had heard the message from the women who visited the tomb, but they could not accept this astonishing news. Their day and their journey were engulfed by sadness. Jesus, the one they had hoped for as the way to God, had died gruesomely on the cross. In despair, they were leaving Jerusalem, their hearts full of snuffed \u2013out memories of things that had been happening there the last few days. For them, the dream had ended. They were returning home to Emmaus, probably preparing to pick up the pieces of their lives. They were hardly expecting what was to happen to them that Sunday! Cleopas and his companion encountered the risen Jesus!<\/p><p>Without them knowing what was taking place, the risen Jesus met them on their way. They thought they knew Jesus. After all, they had walked with him from his baptism in the Jordan to the cross in Jerusalem. But, in fact, he was still a stranger to them. Slowly, as they made their way to Emmaus, he revealed himself in word. At the end of the day, when he broke bread in their presence, they saw him. In <em>We Belong to the Lord Jesus<\/em>, we will accompany Cleopas and his companion on their journey of discovery.
