The Gospel of Luke 24:13-35 gives us one of the most tender and relatable resurrection stories: the journey to Emmaus. It is not set in a temple, nor in a place of triumph, but on an ordinary road - where two disciples are walking away from Jerusalem, away from hope, away from what they thought would change everything. The two disciples are leaving Jerusalem after the crucifixion of Jesus. their hopes have been shattered. they say, "We had hoped," perhaps the saddest phrase in the Gospel.
