“Burning Hearts!”
9/14/10
2/15/05
It was Sunday, the first day of the week.
Two of Jesus’s disciples were on the road to Emmaus.
The whole vicinity of Jerusalem was in a general confusion.
As they walked, they talked;deeply engrossed in their topic:
so much so that they didn’t notice the stranger;
come up behind them.
He concealed His identity from them as they walked,
He questioned them.
They spoke of a Jesus of Nazareth,who was
called a prophet; and did many miracles.
They became so consumed with telling the story
of all that had happened the last several days in Jerusalem,
they were stunned when Jesus called them a foolish people.
He began quoting scripture after scripture foretelling the
coming of the Messiah,the many prophesies telling of His
suffering before entering His time of glory?
They had reached the end of their journey, and Jesus would
have walked on, but; the two men begged Jesus
to sup and spend the night with them.
After sitting down to eat, Jesus asked the blessing;
broke the bread and suddenly: their eyes were opened.
They recognized Jesus,then He disappeared!
They spoke about what they had just experienced
during their walk to Emmaus that afternoon.
“Did not our heart burn within us while He talked
with us on the way here as He explained the scriptures?”
They quickly returned, to Jerusalem and told the
remaining disciples of what had happened.
When they had spoken of all that had happened,
Jesus appeared in the midst of them all,bearing
witness,and He opened their understanding to it all.
In this way Christianity has its uniqueness among
all the Faiths of the world today,for in no other
religion or Faith does divinity proclaim its life,
death, and resurrection to man.
It has been once said, the two men who walked that
day on the road to Emmaus began a phenomenon;
known as “The Royal Order of The Burning Hearts”.
A proper title, for those who love and belong to
Jesus; the Fathers firstborn Son.
“And with great power gave the apostles witness
of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus:
and great grace was upon them all.”
Acts4:33
“For the Lord God is a sun and shield:
the Lord will give grace and glory: no good
thing will he withold from them that walk
uprightly.”
Psalms84:11
“For all things are for your sakes, that
the abundant grace might through the
thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of
God.”
11Corinthians 4:15
Christ is life,
In His love;
