the road to Emmaus page 4 by ric Gustafson


As they walked, Cleopas and his friend listened as the stranger explained many things. Beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he told them things concerning himself in all the Scriptures.
The stranger noticed that they were approaching the village." I'm traveling farther down the road".
Cleopas's friend spoke up. " Stay with us for it is getting toward evening". His voice hesitated. " The day is now nearly over".
The stranger agreed. He entered their house. They reclined at a table. The stranger took bread, blessed it and then broke it. He handed them pieces of the bread.
Cleopas's eyes and the eyes of his friend were opened. At that moment, they recognized the stranger as Jesus.
Just as suddenly, Jesus vanished from their sight.
Cleopas and his friend returned to Jerusalem. They told the others that they had seen the Lord.

The End.
