Two disciples were walking from Jerusalem to Emmaus after Jesus' crucifixion, discussing the recent events and feeling hopeless. Jesus joined them but they did not recognize him. He explained Scriptures about how the Messiah had to suffer and die. Their hearts burned within them from Jesus' words. When they invited him to stay, Jesus was revealed to them during bread-breaking. They realized he had resurrected, fulfilling prophecies. Their hopeless walk turned to joy upon discovering Jesus alive.
