On the Road Again

In Luke 24:13-35 we meet two fellows on the road to Emmaus. Like many of us, we are traveling along a road without knowledge of where we are going or why we are on the road.

Fortunately for these two men, Jesus comes alongside them. Again, like many of us, Jesus has also come up alongside. The two men are discussing the recent events surrounding the crucifixion of Jesus. And like Mary, they did not recognize Him - at first.

Jesus then asks what they are discussing. They told Jesus about the man they had hoped would be the Messiah. Jesus begins to tell the men of the Scriptures and how the Scriptures speak of Jesus.

For Mary, she recognized Jesus when He spoke her name. For these two men, it was when their hearts burned.

So when you seek Jesus, it may not be with your eyes that you will find Him. It will be with your heart.
