… Jesus Himself drew near and went with them – Luke 24:15
Two of Jesus followers were walking towards the village of Emmaus, seven miles from Jerusalem on a Sunday. As they walked along talking about the things that happened the last two days (Jesus Crucifixion, burial etc) suddenly Jesus began walking with them. They didn’t realize Him as their spiritual eyes were not opened.
The followers (Cleopas and un-named follower) knew Jesus but they didn’t realize Him as the messiah, the savior of the world. We read in Luke 24:25-26, Jesus himself explaining scriptures concerning the messiah and His mission. These followers are ordinary people like us, but Jesus took effort to reveal Himself to them as God does not show favoritism.
The God who revealed Himself to the common people – is still the same. As He explained the scripture to His followers, He will guide and teach us too. For thus says the Lord God, Behold, I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out – Ezekiel 34:11. Let your hearts not be troubled thinking you are insignificant. We are all precious and significant in the eyes of the Lord.
Prayer: Father God, thank you for revealing yourself to the least like me. Draw me closer to you and teach me your ways as You personally revealed to Your followers. In Jesus name I pray – Amen!!!
