Can you know a lot about Jesus and still miss who he really is? In the final week of our Luke series, we follow two discouraged disciples on the road to Emmaus. As the risen Jesus walks beside them, their disappointment gives way to understanding—and an encounter that changes their direction.

Walking through Luke 24, we explore how Jesus meets us in our questions, reveals himself through Scripture, and invites us to respond in faith. Whether you’re exploring Christianity or have attended church for years, this story raises a personal question: Have you moved from knowing about Jesus to trusting him?

In this episode:

• Jesus is on the journey with us—even when we don’t realize it. Two grieving disciples walk beside the risen Savior without recognizing him. (Luke 24:13–18)
• We can have a lot of details right about Jesus and still miss the real thing. They knew Jesus as a prophet, miracle-worker, and teacher, but struggled to understand a Messiah who suffered. (Luke 24:19–21)
• We can always find reasons to doubt—even when we’re surrounded by witnesses. Reports of the empty tomb hadn’t yet brought these disciples to confidence in the resurrection. (Luke 24:22–24)
• Scripture helps us see who Jesus really is. Jesus explains how Moses and the prophets pointed to his suffering and glory. (Luke 24:25–27)
• The more Jesus makes himself known, the hungrier we get for his presence. The disciples urge him to stay, recognize him at the table, and hurry back to Jerusalem to share what happened. (Luke 24:28–34)

Your next step: Jesus died for our sins and rose again. You don’t have to understand everything before you respond. Turn to him, trust him as your Savior, and begin following him today.
