Were Not Our Hearts Burning Within Us?
The account in Luke's Gospel of the two disciples who met Jesus on the road to Emmaus after His resurrection is one of the most intriguing in the New Testament. It gives us, in story form, very deep insight into how it is that we come to know the Lord's presence in our lives. Against the backdrop of God's first seeking us, it shows us how the Lord uses the rich interplay of emotions, Scripture, understanding and participation in a common meal with uncommon meaning to bring us into a life changing realization of God's grace in Christ. The two who met Him said to the others, "Were not our hearts burning within us while He talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?" As we open the Scriptures today it is with the prayer that the Lord will make our hearts burn as well and that the burning in our hearts will transform our lives.
