Christ in the New Testament 

Jesus himself dew near and walked with them... Luke 24:15

As two disciples walk along the road to Emmaus, not far from Jerusalem, a stranger, as yet unrecognized as Jesus, joins them and begins a conversation with them. The story communicates to us that Jesus patiently walks with us on our own journeys of faith and that we must be open to his presence.
