Walk to Emmaus
479
to go faster than they dared. They lost the way but found it again.
Sometimes running, sometimes stumbling, they hurried on, their
unseen Companion beside them all the way.
The night was dark, but the Sun of Righteousness was shining
upon them. They seemed to be in a new world. Christ is risen—
over and over they repeated it. They must tell the sorrowing ones
the wonderful story of the walk to Emmaus. They must tell who
joined them along the way. They carried the greatest message ever
given—glad news on which the hopes of the human family depend
for time and eternity.
[368]
