Jesus revealed


But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.
Luke 24:21

Two men walking to Emmaus
talking with each other
about what happened to Jesus
and He drew near to them

Three men walking to Emmaus
two did not know
the third was Jesus
they were kept from recognizing Him

Up spoke one man, Cleopas,
spoke of what happened in Jerusalem
how their hoped Messiah, Jesus,
was crucified, devastating them

And furthermore “some women amazed us”
with a story of an empty tomb
finding no body of Jesus
— a vision of angels given to them

The Stranger answered on the road to Emmaus
beginning from Moses to the Prophets
it was necessary for Jesus
to suffer these things happening to Him

Three men sat down for dinner in Emmaus
and taking the bread in blessing
two of them recognized Jesus
then smiling — He left them

“Did not our hearts burn within us
while He talked from the scriptures
on the road to Emmaus?”
They found the others and told them

There on the road to Emmaus
The Savior revealed what all scripture said
that every page points to Jesus
so we can find life in Him
