Scripture
Reference: Luke 24:13-27
Earlier
today, I was reading through Luke 24 and found myself fascinated by the wording
of the passage about the Road to Emmaus. There are so many great things to
learn from this piece of history.
Right
before two of Jesus’s disciples were traveling by foot to a village named
Emmaus, they had learned that Jesus was not in the tomb he’d been buried in
three days prior, but was said by an angel to be risen. As they journeyed, “they
talked together of all these things which had happened” (Luke 24:14 NKJ).
“While
they conversed and reasoned, … Jesus Himself drew near and went with them”
(Luke 24:15).
Okay,
so how amazing would it be to have the Risen Lord just come up and start
walking with you as you traveled down the road? I think I’d be shocked and
fascinated that He’d choose to walk with me,
of all people, but I’d be honored too, definitely.
If
I knew Who He was.
The
thing is, these two disciples didn’t know.
