Luke 24:13-35

ON THE ROAD TO EMMAUS

Keywords 24:26

"Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?"

 

1. The lost dream (13-24)

 Two of the disciples fled to Emmaus. But the risen Jesus walked along with

them. Jesus asked, “What are you discussing?” They shared their broken dream

for Jesus to redeem Israel. They even talked about the women who said Jesus

was alive. They look like many Christians who know many things about Jesus but

whose real hope is personal well-being and success through Jesus. The risen

Jesus walks along to help such people with broken dreams. He can renew their

hope with a greater vision of God through deep Bible studies.

 

2. A bigger dream in Jesus (25-35)

 Then Jesus strongly rebuked them for their unbelief. How foolish they were!

Jesus kindly began to teach them Moses and all the prophets. He showed the

focal point of the scriptures is Jesus the Messiah who must suffer, be raised, and

enter his glory. Soon, their hearts were burning. Their eyes opened to recognize

the Jesus. They returned to Jerusalem to witness to the risen Jesus.

 

Prayer Lord, thank you for walking along with me, teaching the scriptures until I

could meet the risen Jesus in my hopeless and despairing life. Make me

a witness of Jesus for the salvation of the world.

One Word The scriptures are about Jesus’ death and resurrection
