Words of Jesus: July 18, 2026

Saturday July 18, 2026

Luke‬ 24‬:28‬-35‬ “So they drew near to the village to which they were going. He appeared to be going further, but they constrained him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent.” So he went in to stay with them. When he was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them. And their eyes were opened and they recognized him; and he vanished out of their sight. They said to each other, “Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the scriptures?” And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem; and they found the eleven gathered together and those who were with them, who said, “The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!” Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.”‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

In the reading of this passage, we can wonder why Jesus and God did these post- resurrection appearances in this way. Is God working wonderment and amazement into our hearts and minds too, through His written word?

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you that You use Your Word to be our daily bread. Amen
