Rev. Karen Georgia Thompson, UCC Associate General Minister for Wider Church Ministries and Operations, Co-Executive for Global Ministries, leads our last devotional of the week before the business session of the ‘Aha Pae‘āina.
Luke 24:28-33 (New Revised Standard Version)
As they came near the village to which they were going, he walked ahead as if he were going on. But they urged him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, because it is almost evening and the day is now nearly over.” So he went in to stay with them. When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him; and he vanished from their sight. They said to each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he was talking to us on the road, while he was opening the scriptures to us?” That same hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven and their companions gathered together.
