Recognizing Jesus

For many of us Easter already seems like it is miles away.  The disciples on the Road to Emmaus were only three days out from the crucifixion and they already didn't recognize Jesus when he began walking on the road with them.  How do we recognize where the risen Christ is present in our lives?

Unfortunately the last part of the Sermon did not record.  Here is the text of the last couple of sentences:  " The words of a sermon cannot deliver life abundant or recognition of the living Lord.  Life in the Risen Lord is opened to us only thorough the actions of repentance and mercy. So, I hope the text this morning inspires you to be a witness to the risen Christ.  Then resurrection and life will be with you now in this life and into the next."
