Let God Speak! Mark's Gospel

 Day 47: Luke 24:13-49 and John 20:19-23
The Day of the Resurrection

These accounts all happen within the first day of the resurrection discovery. When national disasters happen the first day is often the most shocking as we hear and digest incomplete accounts of the news. One of the men, Cleopas, who first met Jesus on the road to Emmaus, is never mentioned anywhere else in the bible. The fact that they finally recognised Jesus when he ate bread with them either suggests that these two men knew Jesus well and that Jesus had broken bread on many occasions with them during his three year mission with the disciples. They could have been members of a wider group of seventy two men who went out to preach (Luke 10:1).
