After the resurrection, two men were walking toward Emmaus when they were met by a stranger who walked alongside them. Though they didn’t recognize Him, that stranger was Jesus, and He talked to them about the Scriptures. As they approached their village, they “urged Him” to stay with them for the evening. They wanted more. When Jesus saw their sincere desire, He remained with them. And as He reclined at the table to eat dinner with them, their eyes were opened:
“So He went in to stay with them. When He had reclined at the table with them, He took the bread and blessed it, and breaking it, He began giving it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him…” (Luke 24:29-31).
It wasn’t until they fellowshipped with Him that they saw who He truly was. The recognition came when He broke the bread. As He lifted the bread to bless it and break it, they must have seen the nail prints in His hands. Their eyes were opened, and they saw the Lord. It is this intimacy that makes biblical truth come to life. Without it, there is no life (John 5:39-40).
Do you have your eyes opened so you can “see” Jesus?
