One of them named Cleopas, answered and said to Him, "Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem and unaware of the things which have happened here in these days?" Luke 24:18
These two people were found walking on the road to Emmaus the night Jesus rose from the dead. It had been a tough weekend for all the followers of Jesus. Their Master had died on a cross and their hope for Israel was down the drain. A disguised Jesus asked them why they were so glum. They asked Him one of the most ironic questions in the Bible. "Are you the only one unaware of the things that have happened?" The irony is that Jesus was really the only one that was aware of what had happened. On that walk Jesus revealed the truth to them, and it caused them to spring into action. Now they understood some of it and had to proclaim the risen Savior immediately. We have the perspective to understand what had happened. Let's pray that His message will burn in our hearts so we will proclaim that "He is risen". Have a glorious Easter.
