The Disguise

 Rod Stewart in a Disguise.

Rod Stewart wears disguise to travel by tube to London O2 concert - and he went unnoticed!

He’s a global superstar who has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, so it’s safe to say Sir Rod Stewart can afford to travel in style.

But the legendary singer, 72, shunned the luxury of a private car on Monday, instead choosing to hop on the train and tube like a regular member of the public.
The couple's journey began by train - and they posed for this fun picture at the railway station 

Rod’s wife Penny Lancaster , 45, shared photos to Instagram showing the couple “sneaking” into London for Rod’s gig at the O2 Arena - and fans were both surprised and thrilled to see them embracing public transport.
It seems Rod wanted to go unnoticed as he wore an oversized black coat with the hood up, although the addition of sunglasses on a dreary, rainy day in the capital may have given the game away!

Rod and Penny were all smiles as they posed for a photo on the steps of a railway station platform, with Penny telling fans: “Sneaking into London by train today.”

A further photo showed the famous pair had jumped on the London Underground on their arrival in the city, with Rod flashing a cheeky grin as he pulled his hood down and tried to remain incognito during a stop at Tottenham Court Road station. Fans praised the couple for their “normality”, leaving hundreds of comments on the images laughing about Rod’s attempt at a disguise and asking for an update as to whether he was noticed.

“Love that everyone around is oblivious they have a legend riding with them,” said one Integra user. “I’m in awe!”

A second joked of the notoriously crowded commuter trains: “Now there’s someone I wouldn’t mind being squashed against!”

A third pointed out there was a very modern reason why commuters may have walked past him A third pointed out there was a very modern reason why commuters may have walked past him without noticing: “Don’t worry; everyone is looking down at their phone!”

Jesus in a disguise

Luke 24:13-35


The Road to Emmaus
13 Now behold, two of them were travelling that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened. 15 So it was, while they conversed and reasoned, that Jesus Himself drew near and went with them. 16 But their eyes were restrained, so that they did not know Him.

17 And He said to them, “What kind of conversation is this that you have with one another as you walk and are sad?”

18 Then the one whose name was Cleopas answered and said to Him, “Are You the only stranger in Jerusalem, and have you not known the things which happened there in these days?”

19 And He said to them, “What things?”


So they said to Him, “The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a Prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, 20 and how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death, and crucified Him. 21 But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened. 22 Yes, and certain women of our company, who arrived at the tomb early, astonished us. 23 When they did not find His body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said He was alive. 24 And certain of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said; but Him they did not see.”

25 Then He said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory?” 27 And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.

The Disciples’ Eyes Opened
28 Then they drew near to the village where they were going, and He indicated that He would have gone farther. 29 But they constrained Him, saying, “Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.” And He went in to stay with them.

30 Now it came to pass, as He sat at the table with them, that He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight.


32 And they said to one another, “Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?” 33 So they rose up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together, 34 saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!” 35 And they told about the things that had happened on the road, and how He was known to them in the breaking of bread.

Commentary Jesus in a disguise


In today’s scripture there are two men who walked and talked with Jesus those men new Jesus personally.
He showed up right there after his resurrection walked with them yet they were blinded to who they were walking with.
Often Jesus revels himself to us and we can totally miss him.
So many times sinners pray and seek him and he reveals himself in some way not the way they are expected and because of there darkened hearts and eyes clouded by sin they can miss the connection .

My personal testimony


I am not going to share all of my personal testimony here, but I will say this from the time I discovered and became convinced God was real [1980 at age 28.]
I  thought I was a Christian but there was still something missing .
As I was not going to church or reading the bible.
 I had no knowledge of that missing part of my at that time .
But I was hungry to find the missing piece of my God puzzle.
Daily I would pray one thing I did learn was to pray and daily for three months Jesus would show up in many different ways.
Some times he would reveal himself through a street preacher, or an old Christian lady who would walk up to me in a cafe and hand me a tract about Christ.
 I had dreams I had visions of Jesus.
For three months daily I had Emmaus road experiences .
But my eyes were as it says in the scripture restrained.
Jesus did show up especially in the dreams and visions but he also showed himself in disguises.
What disguise ? 
As a street preacher as the old lady who handed me a tract.
But after three months of seeking one day mt spiritual eyes were opened and I recognize him and what he was showing me and I am thankful for his faithfulness that he was revealing himself to me over those many months .

The things of God are often revealed as mysteries.
God often appears to us in a disguise
You may have heard the old saying quote ‘’God moves in mysteries ways ‘’
Those saying’s did not come about for no reason my friend.
Jesus is always there always interested in you always interested in every aspect of your life; 
He wants to walk daily with you.
My advice is watch out for him ask God to open your eyes he is closer than you think today.
Just like Rod Steward been right there next to his fans and only some recognizing him Jesus today is right there will you recognize when he is near ?

Pray this with me.
Lord I seek you and want to know you beater .
Your word states clearly seek and you will find, help me to have my spiritual eyes opened so that when you reveal your self to me I will see you amen.
