This account in Luke’s Gospel of the disciples’ meeting with Jesus on the road to Emmaus is iconic for believers because it captures some of the key features of our engagement with Jesus - Jesus initiates the encounter, Jesus is the one who connects the dots in the faith narrative with our lives so we can connect our lives with his own story, and frequently it all comes together for us as it does for Luke in  a eucharistic context of table fellowship and then almost as soon as our insight and engagement with Jesus crystalizes, it dissolves for us to commence the search again.
