Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this study is to show in one of Luke’s christophany the symbolism of Christian life, the process - the way on which a man gradually comes to a true knowledge of the Risen Lord, especially through the sacraments and the word of God. At various stages of the way of two disciples, accompanied by the Risen Jesus, the maturation of the true faith of еѵегу Christian can be noticed. The culmination of this maturation is the Eucharist in which it is possible to know Jesus fully. Both the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist are essential elements of this knowledge. However, one cannot ignore the other sacraments, in particular the other sacraments of Christian initiation. The life with the sacraments and the word of God is the only way to deepen their faith and lead to an encounter with the Risen Lord, similarly to the way of the two disciples walking to Emmaus.
