What was the longest journey you have ever made?
(For me it was a 20-plus hour flight to Japan last May for my stepson’s wedding in Tokyo).
What was the most frequent journey you have ever made?
(Probably the 15-minute train journey from Waterloo to Liverpool for many years as a commuter, and evenings and weekends too).
What was the most important journey you have ever made?
(Maybe the drive to the church in a vintage Rolls Royce, with my Best Man to my wedding; or perhaps the bus ride to the Bishop of Liverpool’s house to receive his blessing for me to begin training for the ministry).
We are all travellers … our life mapped out in significant journeys, regular journeys, always on the move… We are all travellers: and God travels with us.
The Emmaus Road story is one of my favourites – easy to talk about in Sutton Montis and West Camel today: Journeying with Jesus.
