Two disciples were walking along the road to Emmaus, talking
about the things that had happened. Jesus then came along side them. When we
are thinking about things we often seem to get nowhere, only getting ourselves
agitated. When Jesus comes along side He brings clarity and insight.
Note they they were kept from recognising Him. We are
completely dependent upon Jesus to enable us to see the truth. They had hoped
that Jesus was the one to redeem Israel. They had also heard the reports of the
empty tomb. They had all three facts, but lacked understanding. Jesus then
speaks to them, pointing out that all the Old Testament was foretelling the
things that had to happen and pointing to Jesus.
He stayed with them at a village and broke bread with them,
then their eyes were opened to see. They went to Jerusalem and told the other
disciples. Note how God used the physical act of breaking bread to bring
spiritual insight.
