The Men from Emmaus II



Luke 24:13-53
Yes, it all happened as Cleopas told you. When we were on the road and talking to Jesus, we didn't know who He was, but there was something about the man. It seemed that we should know Him, but we just couldn't put a finger on who He was. He went through the scriptures, particularly the prophets, showing us that what had happened had been predicted long ago. We sure were surprised, however, when we realized that it was Jesus who had been walking with us and teaching us! Some of the women had said that they had seen Him, but we put that down to women's fantasies.          
But they were right! Jesus is alive! We had to go back right away to tell the others! And while we were talking, Jesus appeared again to all of us. He spoke to us, calming us, for the appearance had frightened us all. Then He showed us the wounds, then ate some fish. After that, He taught us all more about the scriptures. He led us out on the road to Bethany, blessed us, then went to heaven from there. We have been around, praising God ever since then. When the promised power from God comes to us, we'll go out and spread the word of
God's love for all people. Jesus is alive! I know, for I have seen Him and heard Him! Praise God, who is great!
