cause something Is wrong wit
you. Those who desire to kno,
the truth will know it and the trut
will make you free. To those VIII
talk about him Jesus still come es
and accompanies them on life
journey. till with them he sits dow
I in the heavenly house.
There are several practical les
sons we may all learn from thi
little story. One Of them is: Chris
comes today to meu unrecognized
but never stays uninvited. lie was
not making believe when he m ds
as if he would 60 further iron
Emmaus. lie would have really
gone and meant 10. had they not
invited him to abide with them
He is our guest only when he is i
welcome guest; a companion only
10 agreeable travellers. "How can
two walk together except they be
agreed"
Christ comes TODAY TO the sad.
He perceived the sad counteuances
OF these two long before he drew
near. He sees our sadness from
altar, Oh, sad hearts, look up,
that stranger by your side is Je.
sus, and he expects to vi pc the
tears from your poor eyes. that
you may see the better his great life
plan for you.
Jesus is himself the true rest Tor
weary feet and hearts. These men
were doubtless weary with their
two hours journey, aud had intend.
ed 10 retire early to sleep, but when
their hearts buru, they hasten back
10 Jerusalem 10 set other hearts
aglow with the story they SO gladly
tell. He rests them by his presence
and seven miles and a half more
are nothing in comparison to the
Importance Of the wing.bent mes.
sage they bear to the waiting dis.
c1pIes in Jerusalem
The bodily presence Of Jesus is
no longer necessary. He can guide
poor human efforts from heaven 8
distant shore, as easily as in the
old days when he spoke their names.
He did not so from their little room
in Emmaus-he was simply gone.
1t was not that he ascended through
door, or floor. or roof, he simply
was not there. In the resurrection
body we too may move at will, with
out so much as saving 10 our flesh
ly trames-by your leave.
One thing more-The church (and
the world for at IN atter) needs no
new revelation. but only the pres
ence OF the risen Christ 10 open the
beauty Of the old revelation. The
old, old story now told from burning
hearts, is what this old world
