The Stranger on the Road (Luke 24:13-35)
Luke's making a specific claim about where resurrection actually shows up. Not in the place of triumph or the halls of power. It doesn't show up among the people who've already got everything figured out.
Resurrection shows up on a dusty road outside a dangerous city, seething with violence. At an ordinary table. In the company of the stranger that their world told them to be super careful about.
If we're waiting for the risen Jesus to appear in a form that doesn't unsettle us, we may already have walked right past him somewhere between here and Jerusalem.
