The Living Word

So they said to each other, “Weren’t our hearts ablaze within us while He was talking with us on the road and explaining the Scriptures to us?”—Luke 24:32
The Living Word


Jesus joins those who are earnestly seeking Him. Two men walked along the road to Emmaus discussing the confusing events that had just occurred in Jerusalem. They thought they had understood the happenings of their day, but the death of Jesus had left them disoriented to God and His activity in their world. They had hoped that Jesus was the Messiah, but His death had left them perplexed and discouraged. They needed answers.

God reads the heart and knows the honest pursuit of His will by His children. Jesus drew near to these men, walked with them, and opened their minds to what the Scriptures said about Him and about the events of their day. As Jesus was speaking, their hearts burned within them! As they listened to Jesus relate the Scriptures to what they were experiencing, they knew in their hearts that they were hearing God's truth. Their doubts vanished, excitement overcame them, and they raced back to share the truth with their friends!

If you become bewildered by circumstances in your life, Jesus can reorient you to Himself through the Scriptures just as He did for these two men. From your human perspective, the situation may be confusing and discouraging. It takes the presence of Christ to open your eyes to the truth of the Scriptures. Have your circumstances confused you? You need Jesus to give you His perspective. Once you've heard from Him, you'll be like these two men, excited to join God in what He is doing around you and eager to include others in the experience.

HYMN: O weary heart, there is a home | Okan aare ile kan mbe

By
ENGLISH LYRICS: O weary heart, there is a home But He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be save. Matt.24:13 1.  O weary heart, there is a home, Beyond the reach of toil and care, A home where changes never come: Who would not fain be resting there? Chorus: Oh wait, meekly wait, and murmur not! Oh wait, meekly wait, and murmur not, Oh wait, oh wait, oh wait, and murmur not! 2. Yet when bowed down beneath the load By heaven allowed, thine earthly lot; Look up! Thou' it reach that blest abode Wait, meekly wait, and murmur not! 3. If in thy path some thorns are found, Oh, think who bore them on His brow,' If grief thy sorrow heart has found, It reached a holier than thou. 4. Toil on! Nor deem, though sore it be, One sigh unheard, one pray'r forgot; The day of rest will dawn for thee Wait, meekly wait, and murmur not! Amen.
