After Mary Magdalene’s early-morning report of seeing the risen Jesus, the apostles have heard nothing else all day. Now two have arrived from Emmaus, telling of their hours-long meeting with Jesus.
As they discuss all this, suddenly Jesus Himself is standing there!
What an awesome surprise for the apostles! Lucky them.
Beautiful stained glass window, paintings. mosaics, ink drawings. Excellent!
It is quite a puzzle to me why Jesus made them wait all day to see him. I suspect you've put your finger on it: His resurrection should not have been a surprise for them, so He dragged it out to highlight their thickness.
