I confess to sometimes playing it in the Cathedral when I\u2019m not directly involved with one of our services and a fractious baby needs distracting. You know how it goes: you cover your face for a moment so that to the <\/span><b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">baby<\/span><\/i><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> you <\/span><b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">appea<\/span><\/i><\/b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">r<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> to have completely <\/span><b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">disappeared<\/span><\/i><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. But then you suddenly you uncover your face, and there you are again! Smiles, or gurgles of delight as that momentary puzzle is solved. This ability to work out that someone is there, even though you can\u2019t see them, happens within the first year of a baby\u2019s life and is recognised as a vital marker in their development. It\u2019s also hugely enjoyable, for both parties.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The encounter between the unrecognised Jesus and his two sad disciples, as they walk away from Jerusalem towards Emmaus after the crucifixion, would wring anyone\u2019s heart. They are full of information as to what has happened, and eager to share it. Jesus is gone. Their friend and teacher is gone. Now they are just trudging home the seven miles to Emmaus.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Not just trudging, but profoundly puzzled. It is the third day since the crucifixion, but they simply don\u2019t know what to make of it, or of the angels the women claim to have seen at the empty tomb. They have plenty of\u00a0 information, but no understanding.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Information but no understanding. For me that is the very essence of that period between the Resurrection and the Ascension, those 40 days we celebrate after\u00a0 Easter. In this very short period of time Jesus has a huge job on his hands: he has to prepare his disciples for what they must do next \u2013 proclaim him to all nations and build up the body of Christian believers \u2013 before he finally disappears from their sight at the Ascension.\u00a0 It is a period of teaching, of learning, and of coming to understanding, for these first disciples. So much to learn, such a short time.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">And during that time Jesus appears to the disciples frequently.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In John we are told he appears to Mary Magadalene at the tomb on the morning of the Resurrection, and she mistakes him for the gardener.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">He appears to his inner group of disciples, the Apostles, but without Thomas. One week later he appears again to the Apostles, this time with Thomas , who had said he would not believe what his friends were saying about Christ having risen unless he himself had visual proof. He was given this.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A week later, so John\u2019s Gospel tells us, the disciples are fishing when they see Jesus on the shore of the Sea of Tiberias, and later\u00a0 breakfast with him on fried fish. It is as if Jesus has to convince them that yes, he is really, really alive. Seeing becomes believing. Just like small children, the disciples have to be convinced that even when they can\u2019t see him, Jesus is still present.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">But also importantly\u00a0 each of these appearances also becomes a point of teaching: Mary must learn not to touch the risen Lord as he is on his way to the Father, he is not yet ascended. She will have to continue in her faith even when she can no longer see him, let alone touch him.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In his first appearance to the Apostles, Jesus, as we heard last week, breathes on them and gives them the power to forgive sins, or indeed retain them if they see fit. The disciples are beginning to learn what it is not only to know that Christ is with them even when they cannot see him, but that part of their future ministry will be in forgiving the sins of those who come to believe.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The second appearance with Thomas amplifies the point: Jesus praises those who in the future will not see him, but still believe in him. \u2018Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.\u2019 I guess that\u2019s you and me.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">And at the Sea of Tiberias Jesus and Peter are reconciled. In an encounter when three times Jesus asks Peter if he loves him, Peter\u2019s \u2018you know that I love you\u2019 erases the three times he had denied him on that fateful evening of his trial.\u00a0 This rock on which Jesus would build his church is now given the job of leading his flock. Seeing, believing, reconciling, commissioning \u2013 these are the themes which run through these appearances.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">But the story of the meeting between the two disciples and the resurrected Christ on the road to Emmaus is, to my mind, in a rather different category. This is not primarily about seeing or believing or commissioning or reconciling, though that is surely part of it.\u00a0 If we unpick the story, we find distinct echoes of what had happened in that upper room at the Last Supper, and what subsequently becomes for us the\u00a0 Eucharist, that central act of worship which still today holds together the Christian community.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Jesus did not meet the disciples on the road, or indeed in any of his resurrection appearances, as a mighty king but, as at his birth, in all humility: in a garden after the Resurrection, quietly in a room where the Apostles were together, eating simple fried fish on the shore, walking all day with two sad and bewildered men. In other words, Christ meets us where <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">we<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> are \u2013 today in the Cathedral, but also every time we pass a beggar in the street, when we smile at a stranger and they smile back, when we talk to the sometimes noisy youngsters who meet up in the Close, or ring up a friend we know is lonely.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If we pick up the story after the two disciples\u2019 description of the events of the past three days, we find Jesus\u2019 gentle remonstrance and an appeal to Scripture: \u2018Oh, how foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all the prophets have declared!\u2019 His subsequent explanation of Jewish history, leading up to the coming of the Messiah, opens their hearts, which burn within them, as they begin to understand. This sets a pattern for us. A prerequisite of <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">our<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> encounter with God in the Eucharist must surely be an understanding, based in scripture, of who the Messiah is and why he has come into this world.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">These two men, Cleophas and an unnamed disciple, are not from the inner circle of the Apostles. They were not present at the Last Supper. But through the taking, the blessing, and the breaking of bread, when they finally recognise Jesus, they are inexorably drawn into that wider circle of recognition, love, and grace which spins out, and continues to spin out, to include us, two thousand years later.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This bewildered collection of men and women disciples were for forty days before the Ascension being welded into a community of faith in order to proclaim the gospel, a community based on the sacramental and covenantal signs of water in baptism, to which Peter in our first reading points us, and of bread and wine in a Eucharistic meal. They were being prepared for the final gift\u00a0 Jesus had promised them: the gift of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, which we celebrate 10 days after the Ascension.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Today as we gather to share Christ\u2019s body and blood in the Eucharist <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">we<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, like those two men on the road to Emmaus, recognise Christ in the breaking of bread. As we are offered the\u00a0 bread and wine we first say \u2018Amen\u2019, or \u2018may it be so\u2019 in English, to each offering. This is both our assent and our recognition of what is about to happen. By our response we become fully invested in this act of reception.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As ever, St Augustine nailed it when in his<\/span> <i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Confessions <\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">he has Christ say: \u2018I am the food of the fully grown, grow and you will feed on me. And you will not change <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">me<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> into <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">you<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, but <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">you<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> will be changed <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">into<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> me.\u2019<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Christ comes to us in\u00a0 bread and wine in order to unite us to himself and therefore to God and to one another. We become, through the Eucharist, changed into the body of Christ, that body of believers in him whom we call the Church. <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">We<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> are indeed changed, forever, as were those two men on the road to Emmaus.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sermon preached by Revd Maggie Guillebaud Sunday 19th April 2026 &nbsp; &nbsp; Acts 2: 14a, 36-41, Luke 24:13-35\u00a0 &nbsp; \u2018When he was at the table with them, he took bread, blessed it, broke it, and they recognized him.\u2019\u00a0 I suspect many of us here have played the game of peek-a-boo with babies.
