BIBLE STUDY: THE ROAD TO EMMAUS – LISTENING TO THE MARGINS • ROOM 2 • LED BY MEARA KWEE

In Luke 24:13-35, we read about two people walking from Jerusalem to Emmaus who reflect on Jesus’ death and who are disappointed that Israel has not been redeemed as they had hoped. A stranger joins them who begins to interpret the scriptures and explain to them how Jesus has indeed redeemed Israel. But it is only in an act of hospitality that their eyes are opened to the identity of the stranger. Why do they only recognize Jesus when they invite him to stay with them and share a meal? After Jesus’ resurrection, why does he appear to these two people on the road to Emmaus before he appears to the disciples in his inner circle? What can we learn from this story about listening to those from the margins?
