Road to Emmaus


Do you remember my 'What's Your Problem' post?
In it I introduced you to my friend David Watson.
Here is a picture of David with the first piece of his art that our group, Road to Emmaus (R2E), has turned into a banner.
We have finished some other pieces and someday we hope to take these banners, shields and flags into churches all over London and beyond.



If God allows this, we will use that opportunity to declare the essential dignity and value of every human being.
David is an excellent advocate for the disabled. In many places (churches included) these people are treated like the 'new lepers'. If we are to follow Jesus we must walk with the 'lepers', accept and love them and seek to help them to become all they were meant to be, namely people made in the true image of God.

If anyone can not recognize that image, then they can not see God.

What do you see when you encounter the disabled among us?
Do you see Jesus Christ the Lord or the offscouring of the world?

What you see will determine what you will become.


1 John 3:2
Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.



This is essentially the Road to Emmaus.


If you would like to break bread with us, come to London Gospel Temple every 2nd and 4th Monday at 7 pm to learn more about this and to contribute to building the Road to Emmaus.
