Emmaus.
“Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?” (Luke 24:18)
As if Jesus is ignorant. No, He is alive, Living Hope, memories and circumstances are gone, left in the tomb with the burial cloth—they are the burial cloth. He has left the tomb—the tomb of circumstance, specific occurrence, facts—there is now only perfected fiction.
