Is the Truth in Front of Us?

Luke 24-Part 4

LET IT GLOW

As the two people walked on the road to Emmaus, Jesus walked with them, listening to them recount the events which took place in Jerusalem. We previously ended at verse 23, when the angel told the women Jesus was alive. The women ran to tell the disciples what they had experienced, but they were not believed. Peter and John ran to the tomb to find it empty. 

Jesus was unknown to the two walkers at this point. They were blind to the facts of the Resurrection as they were to the face of Jesus. They called Jesus a prophet who did powerful miracles and a might teach. 

So, Jesus began to speak to them:

• He called them fools, slow of heart to believe all that the prophets had spoken. (verse 25) The Messiah would come and suffer prior to His exaltation as King. (Ps. 22 and Isaiah 53)
• Jesus told the two travelers about the writings of Moses and prophets concerning Himself. (verse 27)
• He stayed with the two since night was falling. Jesus took the bread and blessed it. (verse 30)
• Did they see His ail prints in His hands resulting in who He was?
• He opened their eyes and they recognized Jesus. Then He disappeared. (verse 31)

Their hearts had been burning when Jesus explained the Scriptures to them and the truth of God's Word had transformed their discouraged hearts. The One they couldn't find was walking beside them. (Tony Evans)

What a trip! What a meal!

Do you believe Jesus is who He said He is? 

LET IT GROW

Jesus is the Son of God, sitting now at the right hand of the Father, crowned with honor and glory. He had to endure great suffering to get there. 

We like to read about the promises and blessings of the Bible, but we avoid those passages that talk about trials and pain. We can't have one without the other. We must be willing to accept the total package. (Tony Evans)

The purpose of the written Word is always to lead us to an experience with the Living Word. 

Sometimes the Truth is right by us, in front of us, there with us. We need Jesus to open our eyes so we can find it.

LET IT GO

Open our spiritual eyes so we can see the Truth, Lord Jesus.
