00:00The GB News daily reflection. Hello my name is Marjorie and I'm a Baptist minister in a city

00:10centre church in Sheffield. There's a very human story that comes at the end of Luke's Gospel.

00:16Two of Jesus's friends are walking together on the road to Emmaus discussing the terrible events

00:23surrounding the crucifixion of Jesus and they fail to recognise that the risen Jesus is now

00:29walking and talking with them. We had hoped it would be different they say. I wonder sometimes

00:36if we miss the closeness of God and we fail to recognise him in just the same way. It's also

00:42possible that we may be heavy-hearted by our circumstances and we may feel that we can't

00:48lift our heads to a higher horizon. This story reminds us clearly that God's ways of ruling and

00:56operating are so completely different to those of this world. He didn't come to condemn the world

01:02but to save it. He leaves his friends on the road who now recognise his identity with a promise,

01:09I will send the Holy Spirit as the Father has promised. Waiting in life, these in-between times

01:18can be really hard but to wait with hope is completely different. The same followers went on to tell the

01:25world of this incredible hope we can have and then we had hoped it would be different becomes instead

01:34in the resurrection of Jesus we have this sure and certain hope. A hope for ourselves, hope for today

01:42and bright hope for tomorrow.
