Immediately after their eyes were opened to recognize Jesus, Luke says that He “became invisible from” (literal) the two disciples whom He had joined up with on the road to Emmaus. They didn’t at first recognize Him in His manifestation to them in His eternal, glorified, resurrected body that was spiritual in nature. But their…
On the afternoon of Resurrection Sunday two of Jesus’ disciples were debating the events of Jesus’ crucifixion, the discovery of the empty tomb that morning, and the report of an angelic vision saying He was alive. Although they wanted to believe, it made no sense how His battered body drained of its life fluids could…
On the first day of the week, three days after His crucifixion, the risen Jesus met two of His disciples on the road to Emmaus, a village about seven miles or a couple hours walking distance from Jerusalem. They were just debating the events of the past few days that culminated in the news of…
On the road to Emmaus Jesus appeared to two of His disciples. He wasn’t “disguised” so they couldn’t recognize Him, but in His spiritual, resurrected body, so that their eyes, accustomed only to seeing in the worldly realms, were prevented from seeing in the spiritual realm that this manifestation of His immortal body was Him. …
On the road to Emmaus, the risen Jesus joined two of His disciples, unrecognized by them, as they were discussing the things that had happened over the past few days and that culminated that morning in the discovery of the empty tomb.

On the road to Emmaus the risen Jesus joined two of His disciples who were debating the things that had happened over the past several days, trying to make sense of them in light of their hope in Him as the Messiah. They could not understand where His body was if He had been raised,…
On the road to Emmaus the risen Jesus has just joined two of His disciples as they were debating the recent events about Him. As with Mary Magdalene just earlier that morning, they didn’t recognize Him, for their eyes were holden (KJV) in this physical realm from seeing into the realm where it was plain…
Although Jesus’ resurrection was announced by the angels to the women very early on the day of First Fruits to establish the unfolding of God’s plan of redemption exactly on time, it wasn’t until later that day when He Himself began to appear to His disciples that the light of the truth began to dawn…
Luke identifies one of the men on the road to Emmaus as Cleopas (Luk 24:18) , who is most likely not the same as the Clopas John mentions as the husband of Mary (Joh 19:25) who was with Mary Magdalene at the sepulcher when Jesus was interred by Joseph of Arimathea (Mat 27:61), and again…
As the sun rose on Resurrection Sunday another light of dawn was also breaking forth to dispel the impenetrable darkness of death through which man could not see and that the devil had used to enslave the world; Heb 2:14-15. At first there were the angelic proclamations to the women at the tomb announcing the…
