Surely, there must be more to life than a few words on the stage. These could have been the questions upon the hearts of the disciples of Jesus following his cruel death. Yet, on the road to Emmaus, the Risen Christ appeared to his followers causing them to push aside their grief and trust in his living presence. Christ's presence remains with us today for overcoming our fears and grief. It gives to those who believe a hope that death cannot destroy.
People do stand on the stage of life, speak their words, and exit.
But God stands offstage to help those who love Him to the next act of the drama. The play that we are now in is a prelude to the life to come. No eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor human heart conceived, what God has prepared for those who love Him. Focus on Faith appears on Saturdays.
