Luke 24:17 - Additional Comments

They must have been in great despair, for it was immediately obvious to a stranger walking up that they were sad. They had lost their hope, had given up on it.
Notice the kindness and compassion that Jesus has. His character and countenance and compassion has not changed at all from before His death, despite the trauma. He is the same yesterday, now, and forevermore (Heb 13:8).
