Foundational Building Block
WHO
Two of Jesus’ followers were walking from Jerusalem to Emmaus. One was named Cleopas, perhaps the same person as the Clopas mentioned in John 19:25. The identity of the other is unknown.
WHAT
The risen Jesus appeared to two of His followers on the road to Emmaus, but they didn’t recognize Him. Jesus explained to them what was written in Scripture about the Messiah. Later, Jesus broke bread with them and their eyes were opened to recognize Him.
WHERE
The exact location of Emmaus is debated. Two suggestions are el-Qubeibeh, which was seven miles northwest of Jerusalem, and Amwas, which was 18 miles northwest of Jerusalem.
WHEN
Jesus appeared on the road to Emmaus the third day after His death, the same day Mary and the other women discovered the empty tomb and some of the disciples went to see it. This was after that but before Jesus appeared to the gathered disciples.
CONNECTING TO GOD’S BIG STORY
Jesus’ resurrection means His followers’ hopes have been realized and the promises of Scripture have been fulfilled. Jesus is the Messiah, and the good news of His salvation will spread to the ends of the earth.
