Tonight's family reading · Maastricht
The Road to Emmaus — a 5-minute devotion for Maastricht 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.
Parents in Maastricht often ask what to do when siblings are years apart in age. Read Luke 24:13-35 together, then split the question: ask the younger child what happened in the story, and ask the older one why "jesus walks with you before you notice" is harder than it sounds.
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: ask the same question again at breakfast tomorrow. Answers change overnight, and hearing that change is how a child learns that jesus walks with you before you notice is something you practise, not something you know.
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?
