Do you sometimes feel like Jesus is being playful? This moment with the two apostles on the road to Emmaus certainly seems to be proof of that. To hide his identity and seem to know nothing of himself is certainly not what you would expect from a man who has just conquered death. Yet there he is, letting them tell him all about how hopeless things are before revealing his identity and disappearing. This could be a a good lesson for us: despite the fact that God is with us, it may not always be time for us to see him. In times of uncertainty, we might take comfort in the anticipation of his appearing.
