Two disciples walked seven miles with the risen Jesus and didn’t recognize him. They were near him, but blind to who he was. In Luke 24, we’re reminded that it’s possible to be around Jesus without truly seeing him. But when the Spirit opens our eyes through the Word, we see him clearly, and seeing Jesus always leads to worship.
