Reflection: 'On the Road'
Description
(Inspired by Luke 24:13 –35 – The Road to Emmaus)
On this day when we celebrate Pentecost - the mysterious breath of the Spirit that fills hearts,
stirs questions, and kindles courage - we remember that the Spirit doesn’t arrive where everything is tidy and resolved.
We remember that the Spirit moves into the unresolved places, the closed rooms of fear, the
wandering paths, and the long journeys of wondering.
Today’s reflection is inspired by the story of the Road to Emmaus in Luke’s Gospel that we
heard this morning, where two confused and grieving disciples tried to make sense of the world
in which they lived. They had been inspired by Jesus’ teaching that it was possible to live
differently than the world around them.
This reflection was lead with Rev. Patrick Gushue and the Knox Youth Isla, Matthew & Acadia at Knox Presbyterian Church in Oakville, Ontario, Canada, on 🥖🍷 Communion + 🔥 Pentecost Sunday June 8th, 2025
