Too Good to be True!

Hello Again!
Often we may wonder about life: we usually think that if something good happens to us, there's a catch waiting to be sprung on us immediately afterward! Something may be 'too good to be true' and we refuse to believe that somethings will indeed work out just right for us.

Christs' disciples thought that after the crucification: Jesus and His message was just to good to be true: the Romans were still in charge; the religious hierarchy had Jesus unjustly killed and them started to round up and persecute the followers of Him.

Yep, things were too good to be true.

But on the road to Emmaus Jesus appeared! But could those disciples even recognize Christ? Listen as Lay Reader Steve takes up the story and tells how somethings aren't necessarily 'too good to be true'!!
