"We must never make our moments of inspiration our standard."~Oswald Chambers
The two men on their way to Emmaus didn't recognize Jesus Christ while they were walking with him. It wasn't until God revealed his identity to them that they truelly knew Him - and in that same moment He was gone. These men were friends to Christ even before they knew He was Himself. They served Him though they knew not who He was and in their persistence they were blessed by God.
Let me explain "in their persistence." in Luke 24:28-29, they decided to serve. Christ acted as if he were continuing on His way, but these men insisted that He stay with them. Had they not urged Him, had they not desired to serve they would have never seen Christ the way they did.
Have we ever quit our service to God early because we forgot why we serve in the first place? Have we ever stopped urging Christ to stay with us?
These men did not know they were with God on that road, they served Him as a friend yet a stranger. Their standard was their duty - then they were blessed with inspiration.
