A Twilight Prayer to the Risen Christ

Summary

Elder Michael Goans delivers a sermon based on Luke 24:28-29, focusing on the encounter of Cleopas and his companion with the risen Christ on the road to Emmaus. The sermon emphasizes the importance of inviting Jesus to 'abide with us' during the twilight of life, trials, or world history. It also highlights the hymn 'Abide with Me' by Henry Francis Lyte, inspired by a similar plea for Christ's presence in times of weakness and approaching death. The message encourages believers to seek Christ's presence continually, especially in difficult or declining seasons of life.
