Two of the Master’s disciples were on their way to Emmaus from Jerusalem.  Their village was several miles away.  They were slowly walking back home after witnessing the tragedy of the Lord’s crucifixion.  They were confused and discouraged, depressed and fearful.  Their beloved Rabbi was crucified.   He was dead and gone.  He told them that He was the one sent by God.  He was the Messiah.  He was to bring peace to the world to those that believed in Him. 

                        Now all of that had ended at the cross. 

They had heard reports that some women had found the tomb empty and had told Peter. But women aren’t to be believed.  They are full of tales and stories. 

The men argued.  They argued over the details of what the Master had said.  They were trying to piece together all He had told them.   The Romans were still in control.  It seemed that nothing had changed.  Yes, Yeshua, Jesus, had performed miracles.  They had seen that with their own eyes.  But now He was gone.  There was nothing left for them to believe in. 

  Suddenly another man was walking with them.  (Luke 24:13- 31) They did not recognize Him. He was incognito.    He even had supper with them before He finally revealed Himself. 

Jesus was able to return in  different forms.  Mary Magladlene didn’t recognize Him either.  She thought He was the gardener.  The disciples, fishing on the lake, mistook Him as a stranger on the shore, and even as they ate with Him, they did not dare ask Him who He was.

Jesus was able to transcend time and space but also could change His appearance.  How will He appear when He returns?

As Paul says, “For we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face. Now I know in part but then I shall know, even as I am known.”  (1 Cor. 13:12)

                        We all will know Him……We shall see Him in His glory.

                                    He will know us……Are you ready?
