各位弟兄姊妹平安，復活節快樂！主耶穌復活了，阿利路亞！
今天我們來分享路加福音24章，復活節的故事。「以馬忤斯路上的兩位門徒」這段感人的故事。
這是耶穌復活後首次向門徒顯現的其中一幕，非常特別——不是在人多的聖殿，不是在高調的聚會中，而是在一條平凡的、失望的、下山的路上，主親自來尋找、同行、並恢復這兩位失落的門徒。
這段故事讓我想到一個關鍵的詞：恢復（Restoration）。耶穌的復活不只是讓人興奮的一個神蹟，不只是為我們帶來永生的盼望，更是在每一位信祂的人的心中帶來一種「恢復」的力量。先來看看這兩個門徒的狀態：「他們走路的時候臉上帶着愁容，眼睛迷糊，心中失望。」門徒在路上走的時候，聖經形容他們「臉帶愁容」，這說明他們的內心是極其失望的。他們為什麼會愁容滿面呢？很清楚，是因為耶穌被釘十字架、死了，也被埋葬了。他們原本以為祂就是要來拯救以色列的那位彌賽亞，但現在……
他們說：「我們曾經以為（We had hoped）……」這句話揭露了他們的心境——他們的盼望已經結束了。
接下來，我們看到這兩位門徒的心，是怎麼樣被 “恢復” 的。
1. 因神的話語恢復了 「信心」
聖經說，是耶穌在路上向他們講解聖經——從摩西和眾先知開始，把一切指著祂的經文，都給他們解釋明白了。
很多人讀聖經的時候會有一種想法：舊約好像只是歷史記載，是給猶太人看的，跟我們沒什麼關係。所以有些人甚至認為不讀也罷，讀了也看不懂。這樣的想法，其實直到今天在許多教會中仍然存在，尤其是對一些剛信主的弟兄姊妹來說，更是常見。
而耶穌卻說 25耶穌對他們說：「無知的人哪，先知所說的一切話，你們的心信得太遲鈍了。 26基督這樣受害，又進入他的榮耀，豈不是應當的嗎？」 27於是從摩西和眾先知起，凡經上所指着自己的話都給他們講解明白了。 44耶穌對他們說：「這就是我從前與你們同在之時所告訴你們的話說：摩西的律法、先知的書，和詩篇上所記的，凡指着我的話都必須應驗。」 45於是耶穌開他們的心竅，使他們能明白聖經，
你看到了嗎？福音不只寫在新約，從舊約裡就開始記載了。
當時的門徒還沒有聖靈，而今天的我們有聖靈幫助，有祂幫助我們理解聖經，光照我們的心，使我們能真明白祂的話語。
從創世記到啟示錄，是神從起初到末了，貫穿歷史的旨意，是和諧而一致的救恩藍圖。
所以弟兄姊妹，耶穌當時為兩位門徒所做的，祂今天也為我們做。當我們願意打開聖經，願意渴慕祂的話語，祂就親自用祂的話點燃我們裡面那快要熄滅的心火。就像這兩位門徒後來說的：「他在路上和我們說話，給我們講解聖經的時候，我們的心豈不是火熱的嗎？」
2. 因神的話語，恢復了「眼光」
他們聽完耶穌所講解的這一切之後，耶穌就顯現給他們看，然後隨即消失了。就在那一刻，他們的眼睛明亮了，他們看見了。
弟兄姊妹，這個「看見」不是指他們原本是瞎眼的，而是——他們的視野被某些東西遮蔽了。也許是悲傷，也許是失望，也許是困惑……這些情緒壓在他們心上，使他們無法認出那位一直與他們同行的耶穌。
但其實，耶穌從頭到尾都在。
只是他們看不見。
有一句很美好的廣東話詩歌，叫做 足印，裡面的歌詞有一段是這樣的故事：
但絕望並困境之中，全是孤單足印
每次我心中多悲傷，他怎卻遠去剩我獨行
每次我感到是寂寞，他怎卻遠去剩我孤單
默默地在我身邊的主，跟我低聲輕輕說出
在絕望路你的一雙，原是我的足印
當我們在死蔭幽谷，祂從未離開我們。甚至，當我們都走不動了，祂會背起我們走。這段歌詞相當感人，我建議你可以上Youtube上去聽一聽。直到一切都成就了，直到祂親自向我顯現，我才恍然大悟——原來，祂一直都在，祂一直都與我們同行。
因著神的話語，我得到了祂的眼光。上帝一直陪伴我們。與我們同行。
神的話語使他們恢復了「使命」
這兩位門徒，在離開耶路撒冷、往以馬忤斯的路上走的時候，他們的心裡其實早已放下了「門徒」的身份。他們不再覺得自己是有使命的人了。
畢竟——耶穌都死了，還有什麼好傳的呢？「乾脆回鄉下去吧！」我相信他們心裡大概已經在想：「接下來要去哪裡找工作？」「我們所盼望的都落空了。」
所以在這個時候，他們內心根本不可能還有「事奉神」、「傳揚福音」的意志。他們心灰意冷，充滿失望。
但是你看，在耶穌為他們解釋聖經、顯現並祝謝擘餅之後——他們的心，忽然被點燃了！
他們頓時明白了：剛剛與他們同行、向他們講解聖經的那一位，就是復活的耶穌！他們不僅眼睛明亮了，心也重新火熱了。那份火熱，不只是情緒上的感動，而是：「我們的主活了！」是對真理的認識，生命改變的火熱。「我們不能沉默，我們必須告訴別人這個消息！」
你看他們有多著急、多迫切？他們甚至不等到天亮，就立刻起身，在黑夜中跑回耶路撒冷！這段路有十公里之遠，而且是黑夜裡，但他們等不及了——他們要立刻向其他門徒見證這一切。
這就是使命的恢復。這就是福音的動力。當你真的經歷到復活的主，當你真的被祂的話語點燃，你會發現你根本無法沉默。你會迫不及待地想跟別人說：「耶穌活著！」你會像這兩位門徒一樣，奔跑回去，把你所經歷的向人見證出來。
這才是真正傳福音的動機。不是因為有人催促，不是因為責任感，而是因為心被神的話語點燃，因為你親身遇見了主，因為你知道——祂真的活著！
這不只是歷史上的一個故事，不只是一年一度的慶典，而是屬於我們每一位的「新的開始」、一個「轉折點」。就如同當年耶穌與以馬忤斯的那兩位門徒同行，他們的心被點燃，他們的眼睛明亮，他們的使命得著恢復。
耶穌沒有給他們一個新方法，沒有給他們一個策略手冊，祂給他們的是聖經——祂的話語。祂開他們的心竅，使他們能明白聖經。
今天，耶穌也將同樣的恩典賜給我們。祂賜下聖靈，也賜給我們聖經，作為我們信仰的根基。當我們明白聖經，當我們把信仰深深扎根在神的話語中，當我們用禱告與聖靈交通，當我們用行動回應主的呼召，我們的信仰就不再是空泛的理論，不再是軟弱無力的宗教活動。
我們擁有的是一位真實復活的主，祂活著，與我們同行。
弟兄姊妹，讓我們用今年的復活節作為一個屬靈的新起點。讓我們說：「主啊，我要從今天開始，不再靠自己走信仰的路，而是緊緊跟隨你的話語。」讓我們的心再次被點燃、眼睛再次被打開、使命再次被恢復！
主復活了！祂真復活了！阿們。
Peace to you, dear brothers and sisters — Happy Easter! The Lord Jesus is risen! Hallelujah!
Today we reflect on Luke chapter 24 — the Easter story, specifically the moving encounter of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus.This is one of the first moments Jesus appeared to His disciples after the resurrection. And what makes it so special is that it didn’t happen in a crowded temple or at a large gathering. It happened on a quiet, downcast road — a path of disappointment — where the risen Lord came personally to seek out, walk alongside, and restore two disheartened disciples.
One key word comes to mind from this story: Restoration.
The resurrection of Jesus is not only an awe-inspiring miracle or a hope for eternal life — it is also a personal power that restores the hearts of those who believe in Him.
Let’s begin by looking at the state of these two disciples.They were described as “downcast,” “eyes kept from recognizing,” and “hearts full of sorrow.”They were walking with heavy hearts, because the one they believed would redeem Israel had been crucified, died, and buried.They said, “We had hoped…” — those words expose a heart that has given up hope.
But we also witness how their hearts were restored:
1. Their Faith was Restored through God’s Word
Jesus began to explain the Scriptures to them — from Moses to the Prophets — everything that pointed to Himself.
Many people today still treat the Old Testament as if it's outdated or irrelevant — especially new believers. But look at what Jesus says:
“How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?”And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.(Luke 24:25–27)
Later, He says to the rest of the disciples:
“This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.”Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.(Luke 24:44–45)
Can you see? The Gospel is not just in the New Testament — it begins in the Old.And unlike those first disciples, we have the Holy Spirit, helping us understand the Word and shining light into our hearts.
From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is a single, unified message — the grand story of God’s redemptive plan.So just as Jesus reignited the hearts of those two disciples, He does the same for us today.When we open the Bible with a desire to hear from Him, He speaks, and our hearts, like theirs, burn within us.
“Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”
2. Their Sight was Restored by the Word of God
After listening to Jesus’ teaching, their eyes were opened — and they recognized Him. Then He disappeared.
That moment of recognition wasn’t about physical eyesight. It was about clarity — the veil was lifted.Maybe it was grief, disappointment, or confusion that clouded their vision.But Jesus had been with them the whole time — they just didn’t recognize Him.
There’s a beautiful Cantonese worship song called “Footprints.”One line goes like this:
“In the moments of despair and trial, I only saw one set of footprints.Why did You leave me to walk alone?But then, You gently whispered:‘Those footprints were Mine — I was carrying you.’”
Even when we walk through the valley of the shadow of death — He is with us.He never leaves us. And one day, just like those disciples, we’ll realize:He’s been with us the whole time.
3. Their Mission was Restored through God’s Word
When these disciples walked away from Jerusalem, they were walking away from their calling.They no longer saw themselves as disciples.Why would they? Jesus was dead. Their hopes were gone.They were probably thinking:“We may as well go home and get a job.”
But after Jesus broke bread with them — after they heard the Word and recognized Him —everything changed.
Their hearts burned. Their eyes were opened.And they ran back to Jerusalem — ten kilometers in the dark — just to tell the others,“The Lord is risen!”
They couldn’t stay silent. They had to share.That’s the power of a restored mission.True evangelism doesn’t come from pressure or guilt.It comes from encountering the risen Lord and being ignited by His Word.
This story isn’t just history. It’s not just an annual Easter sermon.It’s a personal invitation — a new beginning.
Just like the two on the road to Emmaus, may our hearts burn again,may our eyes be opened,may our mission be restored.
Jesus didn’t give them a new method or ministry strategy.He gave them the Word of God.He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.
Today, He offers the same to us — His Spirit and His Word.And when our faith is rooted in Scripture, when we walk in prayer and obedience,our faith is no longer just theory.It becomes a living walk with a living Savior.
He is risen.He is with us.Let this Easter be our spiritual reset.
Let us say:“Lord, from this day on, I will not walk this faith journey alone — I will follow Your Word.”
Let your heart be reignited,your eyes opened,and your mission restored.
Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Amen.
