这个记载在路加福音二十四章的故事很神奇。一个星期之前，耶稣与祂的门徒已经吃了祂最后一次的逾越节晚餐，又洗了门徒的脚。随后祂便被捉拿并且钉十字架。但是，在星期日早上，有些去看祂所埋坟墓的妇女却说，她们看见了活生生的耶稣！

现在，两个跟随耶稣的人正在前往另一个村子，有一个陌生人和他们同行。他们告诉这人前一周所发生的悲剧，这人接着对他们讲解圣经中记载所有必须发生在神子民的救世主弥赛亚身上的事情，他们感到很惊讶。

将近那村子时，这两个人邀请那人同他们住下。在他们开始吃饭时，那人“拿起饼来，祝谢了，擘开，递给他们。”接下来，“他们的眼睛明亮了，这才认出祂来”——原来是他们的主耶稣复活了！随后祂便不见了。

这两个人后来见证说，当耶稣与他们同行和根据圣经教导他们时，他们的心是“火热”的。然而，直至祂擘饼时，他们才真正认出祂来。

同样，我们研读圣经时，我们的心也会火热起来，藉着祂的灵的能力，我们也可以与耶稣同行。当我们领受主餐时，我们也能够以一个深刻和独特的方式来与主相会。

This story in Luke 24 is mysterious. During the previous week, Jesus had eaten his final Passover meal with his disciples and had washed their feet. Then he had been arrested and crucified. But on Sunday morning some women who had gone to visit his tomb had said they had seen Jesus, alive!

Now two of Jesus' followers were walking along the road to another town, and a stranger joined them. They told him of the tragic events of the previous week. The man then shocked them by teaching from the Scriptures that all these things had to happen to the Messiah, the Savior of God's people.

When they reached the town, the two invited the man to stay with them. As they began to eat together, the man "took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them." Then "their eyes were opened and they recognized him"— their Lord Jesus was alive! And then he disappeared.

The two said later that their hearts were "burning within" them as Jesus walked with them and taught them from the Scriptures. But it was not until he broke the bread that he became known to them.

Similarly, our hearts can burn within us as we learn the Scriptures, and we can walk with Jesus in the power of his Spirit. But at the Lord's Supper we can encounter the Lord in a profound, unique way.
