The story begins with two men walking down the road to the village of Emmaus after Christ was crucified. The men, feeling rather depressed because they had lost their Savior, came upon a stranger. The stranger struck up a conversation with the men and dined with them. It was only after the stranger departed, did the men realize they had been speaking to a risen Christ, their Savior.

Jim Pennington, First Baptist Church Navarre senior pastor, recalls a woman who dropped her head and covered her mouth every time she laughed, especially in church.
