At the end of their conversation, they realized that not only was Jesus alive, but they were talking to Him. In their amazement, they ran seven miles back to Jerusalem to share the news with everyone. Is it possible the resurrected Jesus has been talking to you but you have missed Him? If you have met Him, are you responding as if you haven't?
