Luke 24:13-32, often called the Road to Emmaus passage, narrates a significant event after Jesus' crucifixion. Two disciples are walking to Emmaus, mourning his death, when Jesus, in an unrecognized form, joins them. He listens to their sorrow, then opens their eyes to the scriptures, revealing how their grief is connected to the fulfillment of prophecy. Their hearts burn as they recognize Jesus through his teaching, and they invite him to stay for dinner. He breaks the bread, and in that moment, their eyes are opened, and they recognize him. The passage highlights the importance of scripture, the power of recognizing Jesus in unexpected places, and the transformative effect of his presence.
