Luke 24:13-27
Let’s continue to pray for Jim and Marty.
“Notice what you notice.” The Road to Emmaus (part 1 of 2), one of my favorite Bible stories… I’ve commented on this story so many times that it’s hard to find something new. However, one item in particular did strike me. Verse 17b says the two men …stood still, looking sad when Jesus approached them and asked them what they were talking about. Then after relating Jesus’ life and death they said …besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened. Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning, and when they did not find His body, they came back saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that He was alive. Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but Him they did not see. So I find it intriguing that the two men would stand there “looking sad”. I see “hope” in all that they report. A vision by the women and confirmation of the gravesite by the men – to me, that’s hopeful, especially knowing that He had said He would rise again. But this segment of the story ends on a high note: And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself. (v. 27) What a listening session that must have been…! GLORY!!
Slava Bohu!
