Closing Thought: The disciples on the road to Emmaus were downcast because the Messiah they had followed was dead and gone. Jesus met them on their way, explained to them that the true Messiah would suffer and die like the One whom they were lamenting having lost. When God allowed them to see Jesus for Who He truly is they believed. This is a great pattern for us to follow; proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to those who are hopeless and pray God would send His Holy Spirit to quicken hearts.
