Jesus appeared to my wife and me forty years ago. We were standing and praying, holding hands, and He walked straight to us and placed His hand atop ours. His message was that He was blessing and joining our marriage, as in Ecclesiastes 4:9-12--which was the theme of the marriage-building retreat.

I mention this because He kept us from seeing His face. His head was bowed and the focus was on His hand. Couldn't see His beard.

Just like the couple on their way to Emmaus. Jesus didn’t have them focus on his outward resurrected visage (Luke 24:16), but on scripture which reveals who Jesus really is (vs. 27).

Later, their astonishment wasn’t about Jesus’ appearance and sudden disappearance, but how their hearts were gripped as Jesus opened up the scriptures that revealed who He is (vs. 32).
