On Sunday we will share a very familiar reading from the Gospel of Luke, where two disciples are walking back from Jerusalem to their home in Emmaus. They are in despair about the death of Jesus. Jesus appears and walks beside them, but they do not recognise him. He teaches them from the Scriptures and they finally see who he is when he breaks bread with them.

Our Gospel passage invites us to think about how we recognise Jesus. Cleopas and his companion only realised who Jesus was when he blessed and broke the bread. This simple act—whether at Communion or through shared hospitality—has deep meaning. This week, we reflect on how we come to know Jesus through breaking bread and welcoming others, and we think about the stories Jesus shared with them before their eyes were opened.
