The Third Sunday of Easter
Acts 2: 14, 22-3; 1 Pet 1:17-21; Lk 24:13-35 (Year A)
Luke’s account of the appearance of the Risen Lord to his disciples on the road to Emmaus is both intriguing and challenging. Intriguing, because the disciples failed to recognise him. Challenging, because it questions our own perception of the same Risen Lord.
Prior to their meeting with the Lord, the disciples had been discussing their own perception of the events that had unfolded. Questioned by the unrecognised Jesus, their response could not conceal their disappointment.
