Get On the Road Again - To Emmaus With Cleopas and His Buddy
In Luke 24: 21-31-32 there is an awakening, a seeing, an insight, which is about the change from kata sarka (I Corinthians 10: 18), after the flesh, to the kata pneumatikos (I Peter 2: 5), after the Spirit, or being spiritually a member of the oikos pneumatikos, spiritual house. There is in Luke 24: 31-32 a great insight, a change, a translation or a transformation from that which is physical and believing that Christ only died on the Cross to redeem the nation of Israel (Luke 24: 21) politically and physically from the Roman rule, to seeing and believing in Christ as the savior of all who have faith in him. In that insight and beginning of faith there is that start of the fulfillment of the hope of glory (Colossians 1: 27), which is Christ in you.
Notice in Luke 24: 13-32 that verse 21 shows the state of belief of the two on the Road to Emmous after the Crucifixion - that Christ's mission was only to redeem the nation of Israel physically from Rome. But then in verses 25-27 Christ told them they were fools and slow of heart and expounded to them the Scriptures concerning himself.
Finally, in verses 31-32 their eyes were opened and they knew him, and they said "...one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?"
"And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.
14. And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
15. And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
16. But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
17. And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
18. And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass therein these days?
19. And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:
20. And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
21. But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.
22. Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
23. And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
24. And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
25. Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
26. Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
27. And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
28. And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.
29. But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.
30. And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
31. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
32. And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?" Luke 24: 13-32
