News That You DO Want To Hear

Today, we live in a culture which tries its best to avoid "bad news." For the disciples on their way to Emmaus, they would have read and heard the promises in the Old Testament. However, if we have different expectations for Jesus from those revealed in Scripture then the crucifixion may seem like bad news and a terrible misfortune. It also explains why so many find Easter confusing and without joy. In love, Jesus reveals the joyful Good News of what having a risen Savior is all about.
