A Walk With Jesus Down Hope Road

"We had hoped…"

Those might be the three most relatable words in the whole Bible.

Who hasnt hoped for something? And—maybe more importantly—who hasnt been disappointed by a hope gone unfulfilled?

I had hoped he would quit drinking… she would come back… the cancer would be gone for good…

The list goes on.

On the very first Easter Sunday, two of Jesus friends faced their own "I had hoped" moment. This poignant story, known as the Road to Emmaus, is one of the most beautiful narratives in the Bible.

In this short book, well join these two friends on the road to Emmaus as Jesus walks them through five different mile markers:

Throughout the journey, well reflect on our own disappointments and trials, never losing sight that Hope Road is just around the bend.

So, go grab a comfortable pair of shoes…

Its time to take a walk with Jesus down Hope Road.
