Jesus Teaches! Cont’d

What do you feel in your heart when He speaks to you?

Luke 24:25-35
25 He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?” 27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

28 As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther. 29 But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.

30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. 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?”

33 They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together 34 and saying, “It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon.” 35 Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.

Have your hearts ever burned for Jesus? The fulfillment of the scriptures of the Bible occurs everyday in us. It is His promise. He is always with us, always walking with us, always teaching us. He uses all resources available to Him. Yes, especially the “sinners.”

These men had felt the burning inside of them as He walk and spoke with them, but they failed to listen. Perhaps their skills of discernment had not quite come together yet. Either way, they failed to listen to their hearts. Instead they chose what they saw with their eyes. Know anyone?

Father, help us to learn how to be just like you. We live you so much. Help us to see you more in everything that we do for your kingdom. Lord we love you.

Amen
