Indeed


A traditional Easter greeting in the Western church is, “He is risen!” and the traditional response is, “He is risen, indeed!” It’s a shame these sentiments seem relegated only to Easter and not every day of the year. On the road to Emmaus two disciples encountered the risen Lord and when their eyes were opened to recognized him, he disappeared from their sight. “They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together and saying, “It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon.” Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread” (Luke 24:33-35 NIV). Indeed!
