Didn’t Our Hearts
Burn Within Us
As He Talked With Us On The Road And Explained The Scriptures To Us? 

I love this story – don’t you? 

Scripture

Luke 24

¹³ That same day two of Jesus’ followers were walking to the village of Emmaus, seven miles from Jerusalem. ¹⁴ As they walked along they were talking about everything that had happened. ¹⁵ As they talked and discussed these things, Jesus himself suddenly came and began walking with them. …

²⁸ By this time they were nearing Emmaus and the end of their journey. Jesus acted as if he were going on, ²⁹ but they begged him, “Stay the night with us, since it is getting late.” So he went home with them. ³⁰ As they sat down to eat, he took the bread and blessed it. Then he broke it and gave it to them. ³¹ Suddenly, their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And at that moment he disappeared!

³² They said to each other, “Didn’t our hearts burn within us as he talked with us on the road and explained the Scriptures to us?”

Observation

I love this story - don’t you? Have you ever been in a conference, revival meeting, worship service, or a Bible study when you were filled with the warmth and excitement of knowing and experiencing the presence and power of Jesus Christ?

I remember being at a Navigator conference as a young married man, and a brand new Christian. When those men sang I thought the building was going to explode! It was so powerful, so awesome!

I remember being on my knees in prayer with about a million other men on the Mall at our Nation’s Capitol and it was so very quiet as all of us men humbled ourselves before God on our knees in prayer.

Goose bumps! 


That is what those men on the road to Emmaus experienced and they experienced way more than just goose bumps! They experienced being in the presence of the Wonderful Living Christ.

As I read the Bible this morning I sensed the excitement in the life of Moses and in the lives of the two disciples on their way to Emmaus!
 
Application

I want to experience all that God has more me. I don’t want to miss anything. How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, You are the God who delivered the Hebrew children from the evil Egyptians. You are so powerful! Nothing is too hard for You. Help me to read Your Word and not miss a thing.
