Summary

In Luke 24:33, two disciples who had encountered the risen Jesus on the road to Emmaus rush back to Jerusalem to share the news with the other disciples. Their excitement and urgency to testify about their encounter with the resurrected Christ reflect the transformative power of encountering Jesus personally. This verse highlights the importance of sharing our experiences of encountering Jesus with others, as it can ignite faith, hope, and joy in the hearts of fellow believers. It also serves as a reminder of the communal aspect of faith, where believers come together to encourage and strengthen one another in their walk with Christ.

Commentary

John Gill Bible Commentary

And they told what things were done in the way,.... That is, when the eleven had done speaking, and had finished their report, which they did with great joy and pleasure; then "these two disciples", as the Persic version expresses it, to confirm them the more in the truth of Christ's resurrection, gave them a particular account, how, as they were travelling, Jesus joined himself to them, and entered into a conversation with them, and opened the Scriptures in a sweet and powerful manner to them; and yet their eyes were holden all the while, so that they did not perceive who he was: and how he was known of them in breaking bread; that so it was, that whilst he was breaking bread, and giving it to them, and they were eating together, their eyes were opened, and they saw plainly who he was: now, though this was a common meal, and not the ordinance of the Lord's supper, yet since Christ made himself known to his disciples at an ordinary meal, may not his followers expect that he will make himself known to them, and grant them communion with him at his table? and which should be no small argument to engage believers to a constant attendance on it.
