LESSON FOR APRIL 12 ,
THE JOURNEY TO EMMAU3.
(Easter Lesson.)
I.EHHO.V TKXT-Luko 24:13-13.

yea rather, that wai ralxud from the

Rom. 1:34.
We turn aside today to consider aa
the Easter lesson a well-known event
In connection with tho several appear
ances of our Lord after his resurrect
tlon; ono of the many infallible
proofs, Acts 1:3; I Cor. 15:4. The
narrative of this journey is one o(
tho 'toiost beautiful post-resurrection
stories, simple, clear and of great
value. It Is related, evidently, by an
eye witness. The Clnopas mentioned
is not tho son of Mary, John 19:25,
The name of the second pilgrim Is but
a conjecture, though we somehow feel
it was Luke himself. The Journey
was about seven and one-lalf miles
and most likely they were returning
to their homes after the Passover.
Somewhere on tho way a stranger
joined them who asked the nature of
their conversation, and the causo ot
their evident sadness (v. 17). In
astonishment, Cleopas answers, but
the stranger continues and adroitly
draws out their entlro story.
Interesting Progression.
I. Their Disappointment, vv. 13 24.
It Is all too evident that they did not
expect a resurrection and that, filled
with perplexity and discouragement
they were on tho vergo of despair. It
is interesting In this lesson to observe
the progression (1) "and they talked''
v. H; (2) "and they found not," v.
23; (3) "and they saw not," v. 24;
(4) "and they constrained him," r
29; (5) "and they knew him," r. 31;
(C) "and they said ... the Lord
Is rlson," vv. 32, 34; (7) "and they
told." v. 34. As they "talked" It was
revealed that their loving hearts were
full of sadness and empty of faith, yet
to talk is often the only way to find
relief from the gnawing of griof.
There seem (v. 15 H. V.) to hava
been two opinions and in their slow
ness of heart and unbelief they did
not recognize their new companion. In
response to hie query they told how
this Jesus had been delivered, con
demned, crucified, and then revealed
that this was to them the end of aH
things, for said they, "We had hoped
that it was he." Are wo willing he
should have part in our every conver
sation? Continuing they told tho
an.azlng tale related by the women
and, moreover that their statement
of an empty tomb had been verified
by certain women who had gone to in
vestigate, but, in conclusion, they
again reverted to their sadness by
saying "They found his body" and
moreover, "Him they saw not." Such
mystery, such disappointment was too
great. Still thero was a trace of faith
remaining In that he was still to
them "a prophet mighty In word and
deed," but he was not Christ tho son
of the living God. The trouble was
they were expecting a man (v. 21),,
and to remove tho man meant to re
move all hope. Ills death wns a mys
tery and not necessarily a part of the.
work of redemption and thereby a
proof of his being tho Redeemer of
Israel. Thoy must have remembered
his words (v. 21), yet three days are
now past and still they hnd not seen
him. Tho report of the women was
to them only an "idlo talo (Luk
24:11), still it was Incomprehensible
that "Him they found not."
Cause of Sadness.
II. His Appointment, vv. 25-35.
Evidently the Journey was continued
and he gently rebukes them for their
slowness of heart to believe tho rec
ord of their own prophets. All sad
ness, practically, arises from unbe
lief in the Word of God, Phil. 4:6, 7;
Horn. 8:28 .12. He Interpreted to them
the true Messianic teaching of their
own scriptures. He charges them with
folly not to bellove "all" of the record
(v. 25). True wisdom is not that of
skepticism which cuts out portions
ot the word, but, according to JesuB,
It consists in believing all of the
Scriptures. At laBt they reach Em
maus, still, let us remember, not
knowing who It la walking with them.
Tho road beyond wus dangerous and
"they constrained him" to accept their
hospttnllty. As ho sat at tbe table
partaking of tho ordinary evening
meal, he assumed tho place of the
host, took tho bread, blossed It and
broke it. Instantly those old familiar
nets and words revealed to them who
It was that had walked by the way. In
that moment they knew him, and Im
mediately he vanished. As ono awak
ening from a dream they seem to
have had a vague realization and to
have known nothing of any fear, but
uow with a new gladness In their
hearts at the verity and reality of
things they hastened back to Jerusa
lem where "they told what things
were done in the way and how he
was known of them In breaking ot
bread," v. 85.
III. Teaching Points. This narra
tive is so full of teaching and yot
so clear and simple that it is hard to
suggest any ordinary deductions
therefrom. The story does, howover,
reveal the interest of the risen Lord
In the doubt of these two disciples.
That they were probably not of the
twelve is evident by the fact that
when they returned to Jerusalem they
found the cloven assembled (v. 33).
Thus we see him going to those out
side of that inner circle, also, two who
loved him seeking a solution of the
mystery and consolation for their sad
hearts. First hiding his identity, he
drew from them their story, lie
then took them back to their Scrip
tures, with which they must hare
been familiar, and revealed to them
that this mystery was according toj
those holy writings, d
