Through the Year with The Urantia Book: Week 30 of Year 3 "The Walk to Emmaus

Menu

For adult study: "The Walk to Emmaus - Part 2"

The story summary and questions were written in a way that makes it possible to use a New Testament reference in place of the Urantia reference. A selected chapter from a 1932 book, Treasure-House of the Living Religions, supports a spiritual theme that is found within the story. Children will use a one page handout that includes a coloring picture.

The Urantia Book

Their eyes were opened

Students may read Paper 190:5.5-8 or entire section

After the resurrection, Jesus came alongside two men as they walked to Emmaus on Sunday afternoon. Jesus talked with them about the scriptures, but they did not know who he was. When they arrived at their home, the two men urged Jesus to abide with them. During supper, Jesus blessed the bread, broke it, and gave it to them. Suddenly, “their eyes were opened,” and they could see that their guest was Jesus. As soon as they recognized him, he vanished from their sight.

Discussion Questions

What does it mean when the story says that “their eyes were opened”? After Jesus vanished, the two men realized why their hearts felt warm when Jesus talked with them as they walked along the road. Can you say more about that?
