Episode Details

As the two disciples reach Emmaus, they urge Jesus — still unrecognized — to stay with them. When he breaks bread, their eyes are opened and they finally recognize him as Jesus, who immediately disappears. The two disciples reflect on how their hearts burned as Jesus explained the scriptures to them. Later, they repeat to the other disciples that Jesus was revealed in the breaking of bread. Where is Jesus to be found? Where is confusion turned into clarity and joy? In the reading of the Word and in the fellowship of believers, especially as we gather to celebrate communion!

For Reflection:

- Have you ever become aware of God's activity in your life, but only after the fact? What opened your eyes?

- Why do you think that God chose that moment to open their eyes to Jesus' identity? What led to the disciples finally recognizing Jesus (cf. v16)?

- How have you become more aware of Jesus through the Bible and through fellowship, especially communion?

- Prayer: Jesus, ignite my heart through your Word, and lead me to see you more clearly in fellowship, especially in breaking bread with others.
