God’s Word is to be Humbly Received

 “And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭24‬:‭35‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Then the two disciples told the others what had happened to them on the road to Emmaus and how Jesus had unveiled himself in the breaking of bread.  Luke’s Gospel begins and ends with a similar story.  In the beginning of Jesus’s life, his parents are walking off from Jerusalem and leaving Him in the temple, unaware that they had left Jesus behind.  Luke ends with a story of Jesus walking alongside two disciples and they weren’t aware of who was walking next to them.  Both accounts were after the Feast. In both stories they were leaving Jerusalem.  And both the Jewish scholars in the temple at the beginning and the two Emmaus road disciples at the end were astonished at what Jesus taught them.  We join in worship with king David in the psalm, “I bow down before Your divine Presence and bring You my deepest worship as I experience Your tender love and Your living truth. For Your Word and the fame of Your Name have been magnified above all else!”  Hallelujah!
