Introduction
The earthly journey of Lord Jesus Christ started in a manger in Bethlehem and ended on a wooden cross in Jerusalem. His life was one of conflict, as he journeyed he faced opposition. There was no room for Him in the Inn as baby; there was no room for Him in Jewish religion. He was crucified outside the wall at Jerusalem; the cry of the Jewish Leaders was "away with him"
And yet there is no one who has ever lived, who is like Jesus. He full of majesty and owns the title "King of Kings", but He shed His royal robes in order that "He might wear the robes of a servant".
Yet He is much more than the King who became a servant, He is the eternal, almighty God, who took upon Himself human flesh. He was perfect man. He is unique among all persons, who have ever walked this earth.
When one looks unto the historical account of the life, character and essence of Jesus, he must fall on his face and cry out "You alone are worthy of worship"

The Road to Emmaus
And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem. And they were talking with each other about all these things which had taken place. While they were talking and discussing, Jesus Himself approached and began traveling with them.
But their eyes were prevented from recognizing Him. And He said to them, “What are these words that you are exchanging with one another as you are walking?” And they stood still, looking sad.
One of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to Him, “Are You the only one visiting Jerusalem and unaware of the things which have happened here in these days?” And He said to them, “What things?” And they said to Him, “The things about Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word in the sight of God and all the people, and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to the sentence of death, and crucified Him.
But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, it is the third day since these things happened.
And He said to them, “O foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!
