Bible Question: Can you relate tome anything happening on the Emmaus road thar relates to a lesson or a message the bible is trying to get across to us . perhaps about "things are not as they appear" to humans and everyday life. Curt |
Bible Answer: Luke 24:16, and 25-27 in the story of the two disciples on the Emmaus Road, even though they were discussing recent events, it was not resulting in faith. When Jesus appeared, their sight was somehow restricted so that they didn't recognize Him. This gave Him the opportunity to speak to them about the scriptures. Romans 10:17 would seem to apply here as Jesus seeks to revive their faith. Verses 30-31 indicate that their faith revived when they saw His ACTION in breaking the bread. He had asked the disciples to do this very thing in order to remember Him by it (Luke 22:19) and they did. Faith removed the hindrance to sight and they recognized Him. Faith is not just wishful thinking, but a true inner renewal which changes our ability to perceive God in daily life. |
