The Traveler

The Traveler

As two of the disciples of Jesus were walking to their home in Emmaus talking about the recent events in Jerusalem, a Traveler joined them. The Traveler asked them what was going on and they explained their astonishment and sense of tragedy at what happened to this man named Jesus that they thought might be the Messiah. Then the Traveler explained to them that this is what the scriptures said must happen. As they reached their destination, the three of them sat down for a meal. And as the Traveler blessed the meal and broke the bread, the men realized He was Jesus.

Luke 24:31
In our previous episode, we heard about the glorious resurrection of Christ and how he appeared to the women who went to his tomb on the third day. With his resurrection, Jesus conquered death once and for all. It was the completion of God’s plan of redemption that began the moment Adam and Eve fell into sin. Today we’ll hear how Jesus appears to two travelers on the road to Emmaus. The men will not recognize Jesus even as he explains the whole arc of God’s redemptive plan to them. But finally, as they break bread together their world will change in an instant.
