When Cleopas and his wife talked to Jesus on the road to Emmaus that first Easter morning, initially they didn’t recognize Him. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Pastor Clayton King surmises what prompted them to finally recognize their Savior. After Jesus led his followers in that unique 7-mile-long Bible study, He broke bread, passing it to them with His palm facing upward, and they saw for the first time His nail-scarred wrists. Have your eyes and hearts been open to the Lord just as Cleopas and his wife’s were in Luke 24?

For the past two years, we’ve all had a lot on our plates. Skyrocketing inflation. Political upheaval. And, of course, the dreaded COVID pandemic. Some of us are frustrated and anxious, thinking that we have missed our moment in life. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Pastor Clayton King brings a message of encouragement. He preaches from Luke 24, where Jesus appeared to two of His downcast followers, Cleopas and his wife, on their walk to Emmaus. Jesus had just risen from the dead, yet they were unaware, and thus, despondent. Rather than dramatically announce His resurrection in downtown Jerusalem for all to see, Jesus personally revealed the Good News to these two obscure followers. He will lift your countenance as well.
