“While they were talking and discussing together,
Jesus himself drew near and went with them. But their eyes were
kept from recognizing him.”
-LUKE 24:15,16 ESV
You see that Christ is revealed or hidden from men as He
so desires. So many professed disciples of the Lord Jesus fail to recognize Him.
Even
His closest disciples are prone to doubt and unbelief. After the
resurrection, Thomas declared, “I will not believe unless I see the
scars and put my hand into the wound in His side.” When Jesus therefore
appeared to them He did not argue or try to convince Thomas. He simply
said, “Look! See My hands and My feet!” When Thomas saw the Lord, he
spontaneously
cried out, “My Lord, and my God!” This is revelation. Revelation does
not require any arguing or convincing, as if it all depends on how well
we can make a defense of the Gospel. I see no argument in the Lord
Jesus, I only see Him. Seeing Him, I am convinced, and no argument is
necessary.
