What I got from this chapter is that as humans we have a hard time believing in anything we can not see. Like the two men walking along struggling to understand what it all meant. Jesus saw their confusion and could tell they needed help, so he did what he came to do. He joined them and began to explain his resurrection through the scriptures and by the end of their time together he had opened their eyes.
When Jesus appeared to his disciples at first they were frightened, and they thought they were seeing a spirit, but then he began to explain to them what was in the scriptures. What a difference in the way they acted before and after the resurrection. They were afraid of their own shadow and after the resurrection they became invincible.
Leaders find a way to lead when faith returns. It is never a question with any of us of faith or no faith, the question always is in what or who do we put our faith. Faith is not a pill you take, but a muscle you use.
