All of us, no matter our status of faith, encounter times when it seems Jesus is far away. In this post-resurrection account, we find two travelers literally experiencing just that. Suddenly Jesus himself appears and as he walks with them, unbeknownst to them, Jesus listens to their hopes and dreams and disappointment, revealing a pattern for prayer for all travelers especially when it seems Jesus is far away. He then reveals himself to them as they talk, but most intimately when they stop to eat together, invigorating and inspiring the travelers.
