“HE VANISHED FROM THEIR SIGHT!”

 Luke 24:31                    (ESV)

“[31] And their EYES were OPENED, and they recognized HIM. And “HE VANISHED FROM THEIR SIGHT”.”

Briefly this morning, in the Scripture above, JESUS was UNKNOWINGLY walking with two followers of HIS on the road to Emmaus.  They had NO IDEA that JESUS was alive, and certainly not operating in such a manner that HIS CRUCIFIXION was only a few days prior??

There are times when our preferred timing doesn’t line up with the timing of our CREATOR!  Cleopas and his fellow disciple were speaking about the event that happened a few days prior, but JESUS HELD their recognition of HIM for a period of time.  One might think that people who were following JESUS would recognize HIM, especially after walking and talking with HIM as they had done.  

The one verse says that “…their EYES were OPENED, and they recognized HIM. And “HE VANISHED FROM THEIR SIGHT”.”  It wasn’t on the disciples timeline that their EYES were OPENED, rather it must have been on JESUS’ timing?!?  

Our finite minds are incapable of SEEING what GOD has ordained for us to COMPREHEND until HE IS READY for us to SEE it!   The remaining 11 original Disciples had yet to SEE the post-crucifixion JESUS, but Cleopas and friend were permitted to briefly recognize HIM!  

My minuscule BRAIN DAMAGED mind may not be able to comprehend some things, but when my EYES have been OPENED by THE CREATOR, whatever HE has HIDDEN from me WILL BE SEEN!  “HE VANISHED FROM THEIR SIGHT” must have been for GODS GLORY, whether they approved or not!!!
