Sunday Mid-Day: Road to Emmaus

That very day, two men were going to a village called Emmaus. They were bewildered because the women had reported the empty tomb.

Jesus came and went along with them. He asked them why they were so sad. One named Cleopas basically asked where he had been these last few days. He told Jesus about how they had hoped he would be the one to redeem Israel, as well as how the women had heard from angels that he was alive again.

Jesus opened the Scriptures and showed them how all this was a part of God's plan. As evening approached, they asked if he would dine with them. As he broke the bread, they recognized him. Then he vanished from their sight.

They rushed immediately back to Jerusalem.
