Read Today's Passage
Again, Luke showcases women in his Gospel. The women went to the tomb while the male disciples were hiding! And then the angels (the men in white) reminded the women of the prophecies that Jesus told His disciples about His return to life. And even when Peter views the strips in the tomb, he wonders what happened. Even after all that he saw while Jesus was ministering before His crucifixion, he still does not believe completely that Jesus is back!
It also really amazes me that Jesus kept His identity a secret from the men on the way to Emmaus. Was it merely to hear their thoughts out loud? Or was it to teach them to keep alert when they finally did recognize Him? And how about when He appears to the 11 and one of the first things He does is to ask them for food! I love it.
All of the excitement from this chapter really is getting me interested in reading on into the rest of the story in Acts. Check it out for yourself...

did you notice the references to Scripture? Jesus used them to prove to the disciples things happened exactly as they should have. Then later He 'opened their minds' so they could understand the scriptures.
We must be on thtr right track in doing this summer study cause scripture is obviously important.
