A Blessing for Your Eyes to Open

“They stood still, looking sad” (Luke 24:17).

Luke tells us of the disillusioned disciples

Who were moping down the dusty road to Emmaus

On the most fabulous day in history—

Easter Day – victory over the grave Day—

The Day of all Days.

But they didn’t know the Savior

Had walked out of the grave.

They didn’t know they were chatting

With the risen Messiah.

They saw their lives and the world

Through faulty spectacles,

Through despair-tinted lenses,

And all the future looked dark …

Until…

They paused,

Connected with the resurrected Christ,

And looked again.

Then, Luke says,

“Their eyes were opened” (Luke 24:31).

I bless your spiritual eyes to be opened

Amidst your fellowship with the Lord today

So you can see as Jesus sees.
