Luke 24:13-35

The walk to Emmaus

About the next group of questions

Here is a story about two of Jesus’ friends. They were going home after Jesus had died. We find out why they were so sad. We discover that they did not understand the *Old Testament. It had said what would happen to Jesus.

Ask God to help you to understand what you study today.

Final remarks

Jesus explained to the two disciples about different parts of the Old Testament. Those different parts all taught the same things: Jesus would die and then live again. Jesus broke bread with them. Then they realised who he was. Immediately they wanted to share this good news with the rest of the *disciples.

Pray

Lord, teach me more about yourself. Help me to understand what is taught about you in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. Amen.
