They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together. - Luke 24:33
What? They went back to Jerusalem at once? I guess whatever they were going to Emmaus for was not that important.
So why leave in the first place? Let’s review. Their people had just seen an empty tomb. The ladies reported seeing angels. Emmaus was 7 hours away. But, instead of hanging out and seeing what in the heck is going on - these guys leave…..for no apparent reason!
And they are the ones who see Jesus! I guess it’s not always the smartest people that get rewarded.
