Luke 24:28-32
In vv. 13-27 Christ appeared to and questioned two disciples on the road to Emmaus on day three of the events that happened in Jerusalem. Their eyes were miraculously restrained so they could not recognize Him. In recounting the events they told of the apostles’ astonishment and disbelief of the women’s good news report that Jesus was not in the tomb; He was alive. So, certain of them investigated the tomb, returning with the same good news. Jesus rebuked his disciples for being slow to believe truth and explained the things about Himself found in all the Scriptures beginning at Moses and all the Prophets.
As they approached Emmaus, Jesus acted as if He would have gone farther (v.28). Since it was late evening, almost dark the disciples urged Him to stay with them, and He did (v.29). As they sat down at the table to eat, He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them (v.30). This was the moment of revelation; their eyes were opened. They knew who He was, and He vanished from sight (v.31). And they said to one another, “Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us” (v.32)? The time they spent on the road with Jesus is a reminder to us of the importance of fellowship, walking and talking with Him. Like the disciples many of us were foolish and slow to believe the truth. However, when our eyes were spiritually opened, we came to know who Jesus is and have a relationship with Him.
