Whilst the NIV translation says that they “recognised Him,” the NKJV says “they knew Him.” There is such beauty in this translation! It is here, at the Table that we truly come to know Him. We can never fully know Him just by reminding ourselves of what happened two thousand years ago; but in actually communing with Him at the Table is how we truly get to know Him, not just as an historical figure, but as a present day lover and friend.
