Commentary
Luke 24 is a powerful chapter that speaks to the power of faith and the importance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It begins with the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, who were discussing the events of the past few days. They were discussing the crucifixion of Jesus and the reports of his resurrection. As they walked, Jesus himself joined them, but they did not recognize him. Jesus then began to explain to them the prophecies of the Old Testament that spoke of his death and resurrection. He then opened their eyes to the truth of his identity and they immediately recognized him.
