On the road to Emmaus, Jesus encounters two of His disciples who are troubled and confused about the recent events of His crucifixion and the reports of His resurrection. They are struggling to reconcile their expectations of the Messiah with what has occurred. Jesus gently rebukes them for their lack of understanding and belief, pointing out that the prophets had long foretold these events. This interaction underscores the importance of faith and the need to trust in God's plan, even when it defies human expectations. It also emphasizes the necessity of understanding scripture to fully grasp the scope of God's work. Jesus' words challenge believers to delve deeper into their faith, to seek wisdom and understanding, and to recognize that God's promises are always fulfilled, even if not in the ways we anticipate. This passage invites Christians to reflect on their own faith journey and encourages them to remain open to the truths revealed in scripture.
He said to them, "How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken!"
