[Tuesday's Devotional] - The Bible is not fiction

The Bible is not fiction Soon, we got on board two coaches headed for the Golan Heights where we were to spend our first night.  This is also where we have viewed the Sea of Galilee.   By the way, next time you read that Jesus went to the sea of Tiberias, know that it is the same sea called by a different name - the Sea of Galilee!   Then, hardly 30 minutes into our journey and unannounced, we had our first surprise experience.   Luke 24 bible has this account:   "That same day two of them were walking to the village Emmaus, about seven miles out of Jerusalem. They were deep in conversation, going over all these things that had happened. In the middle of their talk and questions, Jesus came up and walked along with them. But they were not able to recognize who he was."   They came to the edge of the village where they were headed. He acted as if he were going on but they pressed him: "Stay and have supper with us. It's nearly evening; the day is done." So he went in with them. And here is what happened: He sat down at the table with them. Taking the bread, he blessed and broke and gave it to them. At that moment, open-eyed, wide-eyed, they recognized him. And then he disappeared.   Back and forth they talked. "Didn't we feel on fire as he conversed with us on the road, as he opened up the Scriptures for us?" Luke 24: 13-32 [The Message] It is true - the picture you are looking at is where it happened.
