Luke 24:30-35
When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together and saying, “It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon.” Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.
Reflection
When we open ourselves fully and completely to the presence of Jesus it will kindle in us a response that is similar to the “burning heart” description. The truth, grace and love of Jesus will create a desire within us to have more and more. Our hearts will burn to know Jesus better. We won’t be able to get enough of Jesus. This is why we should always be seeking for the presence of Jesus.
Do you have a burning heart for Jesus?
How can you increase your desire for Jesus?
