Breaking it, he gave it to them.And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.And it came to pass, when he had sat down with them to meat, he took the bread and blessed; and breaking it he gave to them.

… that we thought he would be the one, but he was crucified. He died. The part that gets me is when they say, but some women have astounded us. They were at the tomb this morning. They saw that his body wasn't there. In fact, angels appeared to them. Then some of our group went there. They also didn't see his body. They said he resurrected. And I pause on this and say, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, you know? Like, it wasn't like they left before the women returned from the tomb. It wasn't like they left before Peter and John came back from the tomb. They had been told, this is the thing, they knew. They knew that Jesus had risen from the dead. Here's the question. If they knew, why are they walking seven miles? If they knew why are they leaving? And the text even says it. Jesus shows up and it said they stopped looking downcast. What are you talking about? We're talking about Jesus the Nazarene. …
… When he was at the table with them, he took the bread and blessed and broke it and gave it to them. And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he vanished from their sight. They said to each other, Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures? And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem, And they found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together, saying, The Lord has risen indeed and has appeared to Simon. And they told what had happened on the road and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread. What a story. Two dejected, depressed, disillusioned, confused followers of Jesus walking along a road outside of Jerusalem saying we thought he was the one to redeem us. Some are saying he's alive. Nobody's actually seen him. And the stage is set for the first people in the book of Luke to encounter the resurrected Christ. …
but after jesus was resurrected from the dead on the day he got up from the grave he did something so strange and i want to share it with you today it's found in luke chapter 24 verse 13 through 35 we won't read all of that if you're doing the math we won't read all of that but i wanted to give you the homework as well because when the sermon is over then you can begin to live it out. Luke chapter 24, verse 13. And if you haven't found it by now, we're just going to do it on the screen. The Bible says, now that same day, two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. And as they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them. Tell your neighbor, you can't see him, but he's with me. Come on, tell them again. …
… I want to read in your hearing from that 24th chapter, from the New International Version, verses 13 through 32. Luke chapter 24, verses 13 through 32. And when you have found that, if you're physically able, would you stand with us together? We might reverence the reading of the Word of God from Luke chapter 24, beginning in verse number 13. Listen for the Word of the Lord. Now the same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. And as they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them. But they were kept from recognizing him. He asked them, what are you discussing together as you walk along? They stood still, their faces downcast. One of them named Cleopas asked him, are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days? …
