Jesus himself suddenly came and began walking with them. 16But God kept them from recognizing him.

By this time they were nearing Emmaus and the end of their journey. Jesus acted as if he were going on, 29but they begged him, “Stay the night with us, since it is getting late.” So he went home with them. 30As they sat down to eat,24:30 Or As they reclined. he took the bread and blessed it. Then he broke it and gave it to them. 31Suddenly, their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And at that moment he disappeared!

“Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Put your hand into the wound in my side. Don’t be faithless any longer. Believe!”28“My Lord and my God!” Thomas exclaimed.29Then Jesus told him, “You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing me.”

 “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. 19Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Lord God my Father,

Keep my eyes open to see you, Help me to know you are walking with me always. Give me a faith that needs no proof, help me to surrender to your authority completely.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
