Luke 24:16-35

After the resurrection Jesus appeared to travelars who knew of the past events but did not know him.

In conversation he explained all of scripture that  spoke of his life, death and resurrection, yet they still did not know who they were speaking with.

As evening approached they implored Jesus to stay with them, it certainly was a hospitable thing to do.

When they sat down to eat together Jesus prayed over the food and broke the bread to share with each of them as well as himself.

As if a light were turned on from the inside to disperse the darkness of a room, they realized who they were with and before they could ask another question Jesus was gone.

How interesting that in contrast to the many words that were spoken, a connection was made in a simple act of prayer and the sharing of a meal.
