Subject: The bread or the Bread? |
Bible Note: Greetings Emmaus! After reading the Emmaus Road encounter and the supper that Jesus had with the two, their eyes were opened after Jesus blessed, broke and gave the bread, (Luke 24:30-31) I wondered if perhaps they had been in the upper room as well . . . BUT, after reading the accounts in the Gospels, it appears that this was an exclusive celebration. And the more I contemplate this, the more I am inclined to believe that Jesus revealed Himself to them as they longed for Him, yet not for what they thought He had come to do (free Israel from Rome). It would appear that the actions of Jesus reminded them of His discourse on the Bread of Heaven - they were drawn to Him as such. (John 6:41-65) IMO, it was not the bread, the blessing, the breaking or the giving, that caused their eyes to be opened . . . I believe there is a valuable principle here for us to also consider - what do we desire . . . bread or the Bread, a blessing or the Blessor, a broken piece or the Broken One, to be given unto or the Giver? mommapbs |
