Keeping the Journey
The "Walk to Emmaus" is not just another Christian event.
What is the walk to Emmaus? Its the beginning of a life long journey! We all share that the "Walk to Emmaus" is an unparalleled mountain top experience! To be experienced only once!
The challenge following this mountain top experience, is that no matter how exhilarating the climb, how matchless the view, one cannot remain there. The valley awaits!
When God touched your sponsor's heart, God knew that you would meet for three days with an apparent group of stangers and yet by the end of the seventy-two hours these "strangers" would end up being your closest friends for life, as you experienced Gods love like never before!
Now the test of our mountain top experience and commitment, is not the climb up, so much as the climb down. As Christ met you on the mountain top, he always meets us in the valleys!
That's why the 4th day grouping is so important. That's where we grow. The 4th day sustains Christ's spirit and moves "Walk" from a wonderful Christian event to a life long shared journey with your new found companions in Christ.
Whether you "Group" in a church program or at an Emmaus 4th day group, we can still find victory in the valley and sustain the "spirit" as he still walks with us on the Emmaus road!
Stay the Journey!
You can always count on Christ and Christ is still counting on you!
De Colores,
Rev. John P. Whittemore
