Luke 24: 32 They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”
The disciples were walking to Emmaus when a man joined them. He asked what they had been talking about, and they explained the crucifixion. They were stopping in town, and they encouraged him to go with them. As they ate, they realized it was Jesus. This quote is what they said to the 11 just before Jesus appeared again.
I don't know why this road story was so appealing to me. I do like the idea that they were aware that something was different about the stranger, but they couldn't see that he was Jesus at first.
Prayer: I wonder how many times I have run into You, Lord, and never quite recognized You. Help me to be more aware of Your presence in my life. Let me recognize my burning heart, and show me what to do with all that passion.
Amen
