REAL ENCOUNTER
Luke 24: 13-25
Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him; and he vanished from their sight.
Luke 24:31(NRSV)
A familiar journey, but always new. The travelers to Emmaus knew everything that had happened in Jerusalem and even in Israel, they knew what was said about the resurrection of Jesus, a powerful prophet in works and words. For all that had gone before, all this time they had not had a real encounter with Jesus.
Those who know about Jesus, but whose fruits are not of love, witness and service, have not had a real encounter with Him. Like the travelers to Emmaus, they know about Jesus, but their hearts do not burn with the fire of faith. Every day the Lord travels with us; we must go to encounter him.
As soon as they recognized the Lord and even though it was already night, those from Emmaus returned to tell of their encounter with the Risen Lord. That’s the attitude: telling how much God has done with us, giving others the opportunity to know about God’s love.
Prayer: Lord, work in us so that we may return and tell everyone about the Love of Jesus Christ. In his name we pray, Amen.

TESTIGOS DE LA RESURRECCIÓN.
Lucas 24:35-48
Qué se predicase en su nombre el arrepentimiento y el perdón de pecados en todas las naciones, comenzando desde Jerusalén.
Lucas 24:18
Ser testigos de una boda o padrinos en un bautizo, es una invitación linda para cualquiera, pero trae compromisos, responsabilidades.
Jesucristo da este honor a sus discÃpulos, ser testigos de su vida, muerte y resurrección, compromiso: predicar a todas las naciones, empezando por Jerusalén. Allà donde apedrearon a los profetas y le crucificaron a Él, ese serÃa el comienzo de esta misión sagrada, pues habÃan sido llamados por el mismo Señor para ser testigos.
Ahora, en medio de este mundo. lleno de retos e inseguridades, nosotros somos herederos de ese llamado, formamos parte de esa nube de testigos que continuó la obra del Evangelio. Nos toca compartir lo que hemos visto, oÃdo, y lo que sentimos, compartir cuánto Cristo hace por nosotros, cómo nos anima en el cansancio y nos fortalece en la prueba. El Señor resucitó para ser nuestro Salvador y seguimos en el Camino, testificando y sirviendo en su nombre.
Oración: Gracias Dios porque tú nos llenas cada dÃa con tu amor. Amén.
