Prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness, is a neurological disorder that impairs one’s ability to recognize faces. In extreme cases, the sufferer has difficulty recognizing family members and sometimes even their own reflection.

They came back saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.

Luke 24:23

The individuals speaking in today’s verse may not have had prosopagnosia, but they had difficulty recognizing the risen Savior. Mary Magdalene, Joanna and Mary the mother of James found His tomb empty and told the disciples. That same day, some were traveling to Emmaus discussing what had transpired. Jesus joined them on their walk, but they were prevented from recognizing Him. They recounted the week’s remarkable events…and eventually Christ revealed Himself to the travelers. They remembered their hearts burning within them while they walked and talked with the risen Lord.

You’ve had moments where you didn’t recognize the presence of Christ? Ask God to help you to see Him more in your everyday circumstances and life events. Pray also for the country’s leaders to hear His voice, realize He is alive, and allow Him to guide and direct them.
