Tonight's family reading · Dedza
The Road to Emmaus — a 5-minute devotion for Dedza families
Luke 24:13-35 · Jesus walks with you before you notice
Two people walked home heartbroken, talking about everything that had gone wrong. A stranger joined them and explained the Scriptures. They recognised him only when he broke the bread — and then he was gone.
Use this one on the Dedza weekend, when there is room for a longer conversation. Read Luke 24:13-35, talk through the question properly, then write the memory verse somewhere everyone will see it on Monday.
Memory verse
“Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road?”Luke 24:32
Table question
Where might Jesus have been walking with you this week without you noticing?
30-second prayer
Jesus, open our eyes on the ordinary road home. Amen.
Make it stick: draw it. Younger children draw the moment in Luke 24:13-35 they remember; older ones write one sentence about why it bothered them. Stick both on the wall.
Tomorrow: Thomas touches the scars (John 20:24-29). ArkQuest queues the next reading automatically, so nobody has to decide what comes after tonight.
On Mount Carmel, Elijah rebuilt an altar of twelve stones before calling on the Lord. What did the twelve stones represent?
