In the context of Luke 24, this moment is pivotal as it marks the transition from spiritual blindness to sight. Historically, this echoes the theme of enlightenment found throughout Scripture, where God opens the eyes of His people to perceive His truth, as seen in the account of Elisha's servant in 2 Kings 6:17. This opening of eyes is not merely physical but deeply spiritual, symbolizing the moment when the disciples move from doubt to faith, recognizing the risen Christ. and they recognized Him But He disappeared from their sight (1) The Resurrection was a reality, not an appearance; for on more than one occasion the Lord permitted the test of touch. He also ate before his disciples of their ordinary food.
