The events we study this week happened on Resurrection Sunday, later in the day after Mary had seen the risen Jesus and after Peter and John had run to the tomb and found it empty, except for the discarded graveclothes.
Two disciples, one named Cleopas, were travelling on the road to Emmaeus (close to Jerusalem) when they were met by an unknown stranger. He asked them what they were discussing, and they told him about Jesus’ death and the reports of His resurrection. The stranger began to explain to them what the Old Testament taught about the promised Messiah. When they reached their destination, the disciples finally recognized that the stranger was Jesus, as He was breaking bread with them.
They ran all the way back to Jerusalem to tell the other disciples that Jesus was really alive, as they had seen Him for themselves!
Jesus remained on earth for some 40 days after He rose from the dead, and appeared to a great many disciples at various times (Paul tells of His appearance to over 500 people on one occasion). We can say with assurance, “Jesus is alive!”
Come be part of our class for this exciting study, and bring a friend along!
Tom and Sydney Cook
