That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, and they were talking with each other about all these things that had happened. While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them. But their eyes were kept from recognizing him. (Luke 24:13-16 ESV)
From all of the resurrection appearances it is apparent that Jesus looked differently after His resurrection. Something about Him kept Mary, these two, and even the 11 from recognizing Him immediately. Beyond the physical, however, there are many things that keep us from "seeing" Jesus, and appreciating His presence. We often have a mindset that ignores Him. These two are leaving Jerusalem and heading to Emmaus. Are they heading down the right road to find Him? Or are they making Him chase after Him? Today, are we running toward Him, or away from Him?
