Weekly Devotional
Our Weekly Devotionals are sent out every Saturday morning. They are written by different members of our McCurdy community, from staff to board members, to volunteers. Each devotional includes a Scripture reading and a reflection from the author on what it means to them.

Being Open to Change by Glenn Tombaugh
Jesus' incognito appearance on the road to Emmaus is one of the most heart-warming accounts in all the gospels. His followers were confused and frightened by all the events surrounding his arrest and crucifixion. They were even more confounded with reports of an empty tomb and resurrection appearances.

Christ Is Present by Rev. Katherine d. Salazar
The story of the road to Emmaus reminds us that the risen Jesus often shows up in ordinary places.
He comes alongside two disciples on a walk down the road. He joins their conversation. He listens to their sadness and confusion. He sits down with them at the table. And in the shared meal, in the blessing and breaking of bread, their eyes are opened, and they finally recognize Him.

Christ's Love Moves Us to Love by Eufemia Romero
Jesus set the perfect example of love. Everything about Him – His speech, His conduct, His teaching, and His sacrificial death – demonstrated His love. To the very end of His life on earth, Jesus showed love toward those whom He met and especially toward His disciples.
Jesus’ outstanding example of love sets a high standard for His followers to uphold. It also motivates us to show similar love toward our fellowman.

Resurrection Love by Lauri Riddle
Mary discovers the empty tomb. The disciples are confused and do not know what to make of it. Mary is crying. Jesus appears to be gone. Then Mary turns around to see who she thinks is the gardener and Jesus responds with “Mary.” Jesus calls her by name, and she instantly knows He is the risen Lord. Back in 1912, Dr. Adam Geibel asked C. Austin Miles to write a hymn text that would be tender in every line and bring hope to the hopeless. This was a time in history when the first Balkan War began, the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank, and the Novarupta eruption occurred in Alaska (the largest volcanic eruption in the twentieth century).
