HOPE ---------- by Max Lucado The scene recorded in Luke 24:13-24 fascinates me-two sincere disciples walking along the dusty road to Emmaus telling how the last nail has been driven in Israel's coffin.

Sometimes, in the old days of war, there used to be a number of little ships wanting to cross the sea. But the privateers were on the watch, so the seamen were afraid to hoist the sail, and get away from the shelter of the shore, for they would soon be caught by their enemies, like doves by the hawk.…

He must go to the barracks, and the camp, and the field of battle if he is to win victories and become…

“From the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born from Hebrews.” Paul shakes out the whole lot for the dogs, and is glad to be rid of it all for Christ’s sake.
