Episode Outline
The story of the disciples’ encounter with Jesus on the road to Emmaus takes the following shape:
- Encounter—Jesus encounters us in the midst of our fragmentation and confusion.
- Understand—Jesus reframes our understanding of ourselves and the world by explaining the biblical story.
- Respond—We can live with joy and confidence as Christ’s ambassadors.
Sample discussion questions
- What does joy and confidence look like in the midst of the sorrows, heartaches, and disappointments of life—not only yours but of the wider world?
- What sustains us as ambassadors on our journey of discipleship?
- What is God saying to you, your church, and your community about how you can be an ambassador to the culture around you?
