Wonder together:

  • I wonder why the disciples didn't recognize that it was Jesus walking with them?

  • Think of a time you've been surprised. When did something happen that you weren't expecting?

  • I wonder how they felt when they recognized Jesus when he blessed and broke the bread?

  • I wonder what it was like to go and tell others that Jesus is alive?

Take a Walk

Take a walk with your family. As you walk, think about those two friends on the road to Emmaus and Jesus' appearance to them.

  • The two friends were sad about the death of their friend, the person they had hoped would be their king.

    • Is there anything you're sad about right now? Talk with your family about this. 

  • As they walked, Jesus appeared to them, but they did not recognize him. 

    • Sometimes we don't notice the things around us. As ​you walk, take a closer look at God's world around you. What are you walking by that you normally don't notice? Take some time to really see your surroundings.

  • Make your way back home and enjoy a snack while you talk about the part of the story where the friends recognize Jesus when he blesses and breaks the bread. ​
