To find the Lord Jesus Christ we must be willing to seek Him.

凡乐意寻找主耶稣的人，必会寻见祂。

Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him.

Luke 24:31

他们的眼睛明亮了，这才认出祂来。

-路加福音24章31节

Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610), an Italian artist, was known for his fiery temperament and unconventional technique. He used ordinary working people as models for his saints and was able to make viewers of his paintings feel they were a part of the scene. The Supper at Emmaus shows an innkeeper standing while Jesus and two of His followers are seated at a table when they recognize Him as the risen Lord (Luke 24:31). One disciple is pushing himself to a standing position while the other’s arms are outstretched and his hands open in astonishment.

意大利画家卡拉瓦乔（1571-1610年）最为人所知的，是他火爆的性格和异于传统的艺术技巧。他以平凡的劳动大众作为圣徒画像的模特儿，让观赏画作的人觉得自己就是画中之人。在《以马忤斯的晚餐》这幅画中，描绘了门徒认出耶稣就是那位复活主的情景（路加福音24章31节）。客店老板站立在一旁，耶稣和两位门徒坐在桌边，其中一位门徒在惊慌之余，正要站起来，另一位则惊愕地张开双手。

Luke, who records these events in his gospel, tells us that the two men immediately returned to Jerusalem where they found the eleven disciples and others assembled together and saying, “ ‘It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon.’ Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread” (vv. 33-35).

根据路加福音记载，这两位门徒立刻回到耶路撒冷，在那里找到十一位使徒和其他聚在一起的人，于是便对他们说：「主果然复活，已经现给西门看了。」他们把路上所遇见，以及主擘饼的时候怎么被他们认出来的事，都述说了一遍（33-35节）。

Oswald Chambers said, “Jesus rarely comes where we expect Him; He appears where we least expect Him, and always in the most illogical connections. The only way a worker can keep true to God is by being ready for the Lord’s surprise visits.”

属灵导师章伯斯说：「耶稣很少在我们预期的时间或地点出现；祂往往以看似最不合逻辑的方式、出现在最意想不到之处。上帝的工人唯有时刻预备好自己，迎接祂出其不意的造访，才能忠心地服事祂。」

Whatever road we are on today, may we be ready for Jesus to make Himself known to us in new and surprising ways.

今日无论我们走在哪一条道路上，愿我们都能准备好，迎接耶稣以新奇、令人惊喜的方式向我们显现。

Lord Jesus, open our eyes to see You,

 the risen Christ, alongside us and at work

in the circumstances of our lives today.

主耶稣，求祢开启我们的双眼，
使我们看见复活的基督今日就在我们身旁，
并在我们面对的各种处境中动工。
