Burning Hearts
Yes! We are to one of my favorite accounts in the whole record (Luke 24:13-27). Can you get the picture? Jesus - Jesus has just triumphed over sin and death and accomplished the mission He came for. He's got to be one happy and excited person. And He comes upon these sad faced two guys talking. He plays along with them and asks what they are talking about. They just look at Him and here is their answer; "Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?" Can you imagine! And still Jesus doesn't let the cat out of the bag, but says, "What things?" He listens while they go on about how He was killed and they were hoping for help and its been three days and some women said His body was gone and that He was alive.
Now its Jesus' turn to talk. He starts like my Daddy (who was a wonderful teacher) would have started. From their beginning. He starts with Moses and the prophets explaining how what has happened has been the plan all along. My..... Would not you have loved to have been there hearing the truth starting to light fires of new hope in their hearts?
Do that for us, Lord. May Your truth and grace give us all the fires of hope we need for this day. Give us burning hearts of love for You.
