Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread. (v. 35) After his resurrection, Jesus promised that he would be with us everywhere.

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? (v. 16a) The Christian faith at times expresses itself in strange ways.

Various Authors

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean ... (v. 22a) ... Stir up one another to love and good works.

Sermon

Various Authors

King David said, "Mephibosheth, your master’s son, shall always eat at my table." (v. 10b) Are you a people watcher? I am.
