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
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.
