Dear  Friends  of  "Dial  Daily  Bread":
Behold  the  compassion  of  the  resurrected  Jesus!  One  might  think  that  in
the  enthusiasm  of  His  newly  resurrected  life  He  is  eager  to  be  off  on
His  new  assignment  in  the  heavenly  sanctuary,  but  no,  His  heart  is  with
His  disappointed,  discouraged  ones  here.  His  name  is  still  “Emmanuel,
which  being  interpreted  is,  God  with  us”  (Matt.  1:23).
Two  men  who  have  believed  He  was  the  true  Messiah  are  on  the  path  in
their  walk  to  Emmaus  that  afternoon  of  the  “first  day  of  the  week”  of
the  resurrection.  Never  have  they  known  such  crushing  heart  pain.  It
goes  deeper  than  any  humans  can  fathom  for  it  is  the  pain  of  defeat  in
the  great  controversy  with  Satan;  the  death  of  the  Christ  means  the
ultimate  victory  of  Satan.  These  two  men  feel  they  must  conclude  this.
They  are  not  mourning  the  loss  of  their  own  personal  salvation  so  much
as  they  mourn  the  grand  defeat  of  God.  The  world  (yes,  the  universe)  is
now  to  be  plunged  into  hopeless  despair!  “We  were  hoping  that  [Jesus  of
Nazareth]  would  redeem  Israel”  (Luke  24:21)--and  to  them  “Israel”  was
the  only  hope  of  the  world.
The  heart  of  the  resurrected  Jesus  is  with  them  as  they  trudge
disconsolately  toward  Emmaus.  He  now  teaches  us  that  His  heart  is  with
all  disappointed  people  all  over  the  world,  in  all  time.  He  joins  these
two  men  incognito  and  gently  encourages  them  with  Bible  truth.
“Beginning  at  Moses  and  all  the  Prophets,  He  expounded  to  them  in  all
the  Scriptures  the  things  concerning  Himself”  (vs.  27).  He  is  already
doing  His  work  as  our  High  Priest!  And  so  He  ministers  to  you  today--if
you  will  let  Him  join  you  in  your  “walk.”
