Scripture
Luke 24:13-21a NRSV
Now on that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, and talking with each other about all these things that had happened. While they were talking and discussing, Jesus himself came near and went with them, but their eyes were kept from recognizing him.
Consider
Two of Jesus’ disciples are heading out of Jerusalem, unaware that their Lord has that very day been raised from the dead. In the wake of their devastating loss, they encounter the Risen Christ, but they don’t realize who he is. When we suffer personal loss or betrayal, we may find ourselves reacting like these disciples and fail to notice the Lord standing right beside us.
