Luke 24:13-35 – On the Road to Emmaus (part 2 of 2)
This is part 2of2. In case, you haven't read the earlier post, please read the previous entry: "Significant moments in life .. Part 5".
From this passage, there’s yet another encouraging detail which we could so easily miss: this hapless pair was headed back to their ‘own world’, after witnessing something dramatic – didn’t seem like a significant event such as that, had affected their routine much.
What’s amazing is that these people had their ‘theology’ almost right (vs.19,20) – the only place where it was messed up was where they thought he was going to redeem Israel (vs.21); and what more, they were also up-to-date on the news (vs.22-24) – yet, they failed to recognize and see Jesus!
But once they had their ‘hearts enlightened’ (vs.30-32), they will turn around and immediately go right back to Jerusalem to report their findings (vs.33), to another group of confused lot – the disciples.
What are we confused about today?
Perhaps, we may have a perfect knowledge of who Christ is .. but if our hearts are not enlightened to the truth, then we will be in our own little world, oblivious to the fact, that Christ is walking with us – even when we are headed in the wrong direction!
And He does walk with us and stay with us .. in what seems an ordinary moment.
Let’s be open to receiving from Him, even when we are confused in life.
Those ordinary moments can bring about a historical change in our life.
Such moments can enlighten our hearts to something which the Lord wants to reveal to us.
And as we walk with Him and receive this understanding, we might be able to help others who are confused too!
