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.

When our Lord met the disciples at Emmaus and talked with them, they did not know Him while He talked with them. But when do you think they knew that they knew Him?

The Israelites were commanded on the Feast of the Passover to put away all leaven out of their houses, and to this day they are very scrupulous about the fulfillment of that command at the time of that great festival.

Faith, as soon as it opens its mouth, begins to make a personal appropriation of the blessings of the grace of God. What do you do when you come to the communion table?
