But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. Luke 24:16
And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and He vanished out of their sight. Luke 24:31
The Emmaus road had never seemed longer, and their hearts never heavier. The One they loved had been crucified, buried, and mysteriously disappeared. To their delight, a Stranger walked with them and, at their invitation, He joined them for their evening meal. When He blessed the bread they were about to eat, “Their eyes were opened, and they knew him.” What a sight! Dear child of God, stay close to Him, and you will be rewarded with His presence. The One who permits your suffering longs to give you a sight of Himself. —Arnot P. McIntee
O, soul, are you weary and troubled? No light in the darkness you see?
There’s light for a look at the Saviour, and life more abundant and free!—Helen H. Lemmel
