Wednesday in the Octave of Easter
Acts 3:1–10; Psalm 105; Luke 24:13–35
A man stands. He walks. He praises God.
People stop. They look again. They are filled with amazement.
Something has happened.
On another road, two disciples walk away. Confused. Disappointed.
Then a stranger joins them.
He listens. He speaks. He opens the Scriptures.
Their hearts begin to burn.
Later, at the table, their eyes are opened.
They recognize him.
The Lord is risen.
They do not stay. They return. They speak.
This is how faith moves: from encounter to proclamation.
Psalm 105 does the same.
It tells a story. A long story.
From Abraham, called out of his land, to a people set free from slavery, to a land given as promise fulfilled.
Many chapters. Many years.
But the psalm gathers it all into a song.
Remember. Give thanks. Tell his deeds.
The New Testament continues the song.
God comes close. The Word becomes flesh.
Jesus lives among us. He teaches. He heals.
He is handed over. He dies.
He rises. He is exalted.
He sends the Spirit.
And the story is not finished.
He will come again.
This is the heart of the Gospel. Simple. Clear. Alive.
At first, it was not written.
It was spoken. Shared. Remembered.
From person to person. From heart to heart.
Only later was it written down.
But even then, the living voice remained.
Because faith is not only read. It is heard. It is told.
Now it is our turn.
We know the story. We can hold it in our hands. We can read it every day.
But that is not enough.
We are called to speak it.
Not as a lesson. Not as a theory.
But as witness.
Clear. Personal. Alive.
A story that begins with creation and leads to resurrection.
A story that reaches us. And passes through us.
So that others may hear.
So that others may see.
So that others may say:
The Lord is truly risen.
