He asked them, “What are you discussing together as you walk along?”
They stood still, their faces downcast. - Luke 24:17
You must have loved this! Knowing what they were talking about, but still asking the question! Seeing their faces downcast, but knowing that in a few moments there would be joy and surprise. Was this the most fun time of your life?
I guess I’m hoping it was because then You would be just like me. When I say, “You had to live this” what I’m really saying is I would love this. Maybe we do that a lot - we get this picture of who You are based on who we are. Sure, I hope You’re chuckling and cracking up on the inside while all this is going on. I would love it if this whole disguising Yourself was partly just so You could see their reactions. I really want there to have been a meeting with You and The Father where He says, “Thank You for doing that, now let’s have a little fun with this.”
I hope You’re like me, or better said, I’m like You. I hope that the way I perceive life is how You perceive it. I hope my attitude is Your attitude. I hope my reactions are Your reactions. And I also hope, I am not creating this “Tony Melton Jesus” when the real one is so much better.
