COMPANIONSHIP
This Day With God - A Spiritual Journey 
Thougths on #4 – On the way to Emmaus, two of Jesus’ followers were in a state of despair and needed help in understanding why Jesus had been crucified so He joined them on their walk. They didn’t know it was Jesus walking with them until later when they were eating. Jesus changed their dark day into one of joy and hope. That’s what Jesus did then and that’s still true today. We can choose the road to despair or the one that leads to joy and hope.
