b'Easter is a divine mystery, a celebration that leaves us with questions we don\\u2019t understand. How could God love us so much He would send Jesus to die? How did His body change when He rose from the dead? Why didn\\u2019t He stay on earth a little longer to spend more time with His disciples?\\nWe might not be able to answer these questions fully until Jesus returns. Like Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 1:25, \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153God\\u2019s foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God\\u2019s weakness is stronger than human strength.\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d God\\u2019s ways are not our ways. God doesn\\u2019t fit into our human understanding. But we can ask God to open our eyes to see how He is working around us.\\nI love the story of Jesus\\u2019s walk with two of His followers on the road to Emmaus. Jesus\\u2019s followers were discussing all that had happened since Jesus was put to death on a cross, and they felt confused and lost. Wasn\\u2019t Jesus supposed to bring redemption? How was His death part of the plan? And how did His body disappear from the tomb?\\nJesus met them where they were. They didn\\u2019t recognize Him, but He walked with them, listened, and explained the Scriptures. They invited Him to stay with them, and He joined them at the table. When He broke bread, their eyes were opened to the truth, and they recognized Jesus. Then He disappeared.\\nWe often take a bit to catch on, don\\u2019t we? We don\\u2019t always understand how God is working. We don\\u2019t always recognize the Holy Spirit\\u2019s presence. But God is here. He is with us. He is doing a great work in our hearts. And we can trust in His works of redemption. \\u2022 Becca Wierwille\\n\\u2022 Why do you think Jesus\\u2019s followers didn\\u2019t recognize Him on the road to Emmaus? (Luke 24:16) What did they do after they recognized Jesus? (Luke 24:30-35)\\n\\u2022 Has there been a time in your life when you didn\\u2019t understand what God was doing in the moment, but looking back you can see how He was present and working?\\nThen their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, but he disappeared from their sight. They said to each other, \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153Weren\\u2019t our hearts burning within us while he was talking with us on the road and explaining the Scriptures to us?\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d Luke 24:31-32 (CSB)\\n\\xa0\\nRead Verses:\\nPs.139.23-Ps.139.24|2Pet.1.3-2Pet.1.8|2Cor.3.18'
