Luke 24:13-35

After he was resurrected from the grave, Jesus appeared to two disciples on the road to Emmaus, but they did not recognize him. They were “blinded” because they were expecting a Messiah who would save Israel, not one who would be crucified and die. They were so focused on what they wanted that despite what Jesus had said to them, they missed what God was doing right before their eyes. Jesus then explained “all the scriptures concerning himself” so that their eyes were opened and their hearts were transformed.
