In Luke 24:13-49, Luke tells the story about the disciples on the Road to Emmaus. After they had talked about the prophecies fulfilled by his death, "they urged him strongly, saying, 'Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent.' So he went in to stay with them. And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he vanished from their sight."
For all my family and friends today I pray that our first and strongest desire would be to urge Jesus to stay with us for awhile, to sit down and talk to us, to open our eyes and help us to recognize the treasure we have in him. We have to desire his presence more than mother, father, spouse, child, grandchild or friend.
Stay with us awhile, today, Lord and open our eyes.
