As I begin this inspired journey of this new book titled "Where Do I Go From here" I am greatful to God for his divine inspiration and guidance. This book is long overdue and will be a blessing to many that are "stagnant on the Road to Emmaus, both psychologically and spiritually! As I am a living witness of how sad and lonely this road is; and how vital it is for one to quickly get off this road, and get back on the road to life. If you have experienced the death of someone special in your life as the two disciples on the Road to Emmaus had; after the death of Jesus Christ, you have traveled or are traveling down the road to Emmaus. The journey down Emmaus Road begain at the death of that special someone that was in your life but have suddenly died naturally or due to some sickness or some other cause; known as the "immediate cause" of death. Let me inject here however, that "death" isn't the only cause for one to be stagnant on the road to Emmaus! It might be from the result of a "broken marriage", "drug or alcohol abuse", "loss of a job", and the list could continue on and on! The point is; whatever is causing sadness in your life have both "psychologically and spiritually" led you to this road of sadness and lonliness, even if you do not realize it! However, this books primary focus is on one of the causes, which is "DEATH"! Most people in the world know and have heard of the man Jesus Christ! If you have not, I am more than happy to introduce you to him in this book! Jesus Christ was the promised Messiah! Salvation to all men or nations of men came through him; as the Savior of the world (John-3:16,17). Jesus Christ was a Jew and this is why the Bible declare to us that "Salvation is of the Jews" (Romans-11:11). God sent Jesus Christ into this world to die for the sins of the world that the world through his death, might be saved! Jesus was born into this world and lived as a human, yet without sin; was accused of blasphemy by the chief priest and men of high honor in his day, convicted by a court of law and sentenced to "death" by "crucifiction" by his own people! I will now take you on a journey back to the events that led to his death on the cross at Calvary; and how his death tie in to the "Road to Emmaus"! Jesus begin his ministry at the age of thirty! He chose twelve men that are called disciples; whom he taught, lived with and instructed about the "kingdom of God!" At the age of thirty-three and a half (33 1/2) Jesus was crucified on a cruel cross at Calvary as he gave his life a ransom for many including you and me! When Jesus was crucified all of his disciple's hope was gone as well as their faith, as they did not understand, the providence of God; his purpose, until after his death, burial and resurrection from the dead! The Jewish looked for someone to overthrow the Roman government of their day; a coming king! Yet when Jesus came, they neither knew him nor understood his divine purpose in the world. Immediately before his death, all of his disciples left him and fled and was scattered! After his crucifiction, two of his disciples left Jerusalem and traveled to a village which was outside of Jerusalem; called Emmaus! They had to travel down a road which is called "the road to Emmaus" the story of their sad journey is found in the book of Luke the twenty-fourth Chapter and is summed up in this: Luke places the story on of the day of Jesus' resurrection. The two disciples have heard the tomb of Jesus was found empty earlier that day. They are discussing the events of the past few days when a stranger asks them what they are discussing. "Their eyes were kept from recognizing him". He rebukes them for their unbelief and expounds on the scriptures about the Messiah. After a meal and breaking of bread their eyes were opened and they knew him. They returned to Jerusalem and to tell the others; Jesus was alive and how they knew him by the breaking of bread! This book will inspire you to see death and all God's way
