The Unbelief of Believers
"Then he said to them: 'How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken!'" (Luke 24:25)
The two disciples on the road to Emmaus erred in their understanding of the story because they were too preoccupied with their disappointments and problems. As a result, they did not realize that the person walking with them was Jesus. To make matters worse, they were heading in the wrong direction, away from fellowship with the believers in Jerusalem. We too risk losing sight of Jesus and drifting away from fellowship with our fellow believers when we focus solely on our frustrated plans and hopes. Notice in verse 24 that these two disciples knew the tomb was empty, but they refused to believe in the resurrection because they were too saddened. Despite the evidence, the testimony of the women, and the biblical prophecies concerning this event, they did not believe. Even today, the resurrection continues to surprise many people. Despite over two thousand years of evidence and testimony, many still resist believing. Are you one of those who resist believing, or have you already given your life to Jesus?
The unbelief of the disciples led Jesus to call them "foolish" or "senseless." Despite being well-versed in biblical prophecies, they failed to understand that Christ's suffering was the path to glory. They also could not comprehend why God did not intervene to save Jesus from the cross. They were so imprisoned by the idea of a Messiah with political and military power that they were not prepared for the antagonistic values of the Kingdom of God, where the last shall be first and where life emanates from death.
After the two disciples told Jesus that they were sad and confused, He responded by opening their minds to understand and receive the ministry of the Scriptures. When we are confused or troubled by difficult questions or unsolvable problems, we too can turn to the Scriptures and receive timely and necessary help and ministry. If, like these two disciples, we do not understand what the Bible says, we can seek out brothers and sisters who know it and have the wisdom to apply it to our situation.
