Judges 9:22-10:18 / Luke 24:13-53 / Psalm 100 / Proverbs 14:11-12 The passage in Luke is interesting because Jesus intentionally hid His identity from two of His followers as He walked and talked with them heading to the village of Emmaus.  I wonder why He did that.  Was it to get an incognito summary of …
