Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me." John 14:6 (NLT)

 

As I finished ONE THOUSAND GIFTS by Ann Voskamp, I was moved by her description of viewing the painting in Musee du Louvre, Paris, of "Supper at Emmaus," completed sometime in 1648, when Rembrandt Van Rijn was approximately 42 years old.

 

Easter is a highly celebrated season in the Christian church, and this story occurs in Luke 24:13-35 after Christ's resurrection and is one I can relate to as I imagine my being one of those people walking on the road to Emmaus:

On the Road to Emmaus

13 Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles[a] from Jerusalem. 14 They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. 15 As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; 16 but they were kept from recognizing him.

17 He asked them, “What are you discussing together as you walk along?”

 

They stood still, their faces downcast. 18 One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?”

 

19 “What things?” he asked.

 

“About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. 20 The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him; 21 but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place. 22 In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning 23 but didn’t find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. 24 Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus.”

 

25 He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?” 27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

 

28 As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther. 29 But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.

 

30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. 32 They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”

 

33 They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together 34 and saying, “It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon.” 35 Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread."

This modern-day road and it's sign give a clear, unmistakeable message. .

 

This is an amazing and startling scene on Howard Street above North Ave. in the middle of used car lots and tinsel. The local mural artist gaia.streetart says "this piece on Howard St is the rooster messenger cradling the head of St John as depicted by Guido Reni"

Ooh, what a title.

One of my friends, an art history buff, pointed out to me that the reason I liked this scene so much was because it has strong similarities to one of my favorite paintings, Philosopher in Meditation.
