Luke 24:31 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 24:31

29 But ^athey constrained Him, saying, ^b“Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.” And He went in to stay with them.

30 Now it came to pass, as ^aHe sat at the table with them, that He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them.

31 Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight.

32 And they said to one another, “Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?”

33 So they rose up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together,

34 saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and ^ahas appeared to Simon!”

Luke 24:31-32

Please turn with me to Luke 24, verse 31. After His crucifixion and before He ascended to heaven, Christ had to perform a miracle to open the eyes of His disciples before they could recognize Him fully or enough that He could teach them.

So before the church received the Holy Spirit on Pentecost 31 AD, Christ needed to perform a miracle again which enabled the disciples to be able to understand the inspired written Word of God, consisting of only the Old Testament at that time.

Luke 24:31-32

Now the scripture does not indicate that God in any way actually, forcefully closed their eyes. Rather something now occurs. Maybe it was in the way that He did something, something with which they were familiar. Maybe it was a little idiosyncrasy that He had with which He broke bread. I do not know how He did it but they were eating there and He took their loaf of bread and broke it in such a way. Bang! The lights went on and they recognized Who it was that they were talking to.

Luke 24:26-32

Right here He goes to the root of the problem that would continue for 40 days—the slow heart of unbelief.

He was right there with them, but they could not recognize Him because, as Christ said, they were foolish without Moses and the prophets being in their hearts. It was only when He sat there explaining Himself in the Scriptures did they say they were driven to understanding what was happening. But brethren, how long did that last?
