ON THE ROAD TO EMMAUS (LUKE 24.13-35)

My most recent piece of work has been published in Nexus, Easter 2011. The title of the article looks very heavy and academic 'THE MIRACLE OF EMMAUS: RESTORING PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL DISILLUSIONMENT TOWARDS THE RESURRECTED JESUS (LUKE 24.13-35).' The style of delivery is however light, refreshing and entertaining. It is written in Bahasa Indonesia. Nexus is a magazine published by Gereja Kristen Perjanjian Baru Fajar Pengharapan in Bandung. I have been regularly contributing essays for Nexus.  

I have posted crucial points of the article in my Facebook status earlier this week, and now  I am excited for and looking forward to share the whole story as a simple homily at Surrey Campus House for All Nations Easter Service (April 24, 2011). If you are happy to read the article, I may grant your request by making the modified version (slightly different and more developed from the one in Nexus) available for you through e-mail.

The homily gives us holistic and practical tips in order to see and to experience the risen victorious Christ in our daily life: (1) Consuming enough healthy food; (2) Having enough rest and sleep; (3) Reading, meditating and applying the Word of God zealously; (4) Managing problem wisely. Do not be overwhelmed by the magnitude of our burden; (5) Walking according to God's will. Do not be preoccupied by self ambition. HAPPY EASTER!
