Luke 24:30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them.
These two unnamed disciples were standing in the presence of Jesus, but they didn’t realize it. Scripture says they were kept from recognizing Him (verse 16), but how many times have I been so wrapped up in my own mess that I missed Jesus in my midst? There is a lesson for me here.
Luke 24:31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight.
Interestingly, it was during the breaking of bread, a mundane daily necessity, when their eyes were opened to the Savior in their presence. Again, there is a lesson for me here.
Luke 24:32 They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”
Lord, Thank You for whispering to my heart. Thank You for the reminder to seek You always, in my sorrows and pain, in my joys and celebrations, in the mundane ordinary of life. Open the eyes of my heart. Help me to seek You always and in all things. Amen.
Luke 24:35 Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.
Have a blessed day.
