They said to each other, “Didn’t our hearts burn within us as he talked with us on the road and explained the Scriptures to us?”
(Luke 24:32).
There is something wonderful that happens when we truly turn to Christ in faith: the Bible comes alive! Suddenly (it seems) the words of Scripture seem to jump off the page and speak to the deepest part of our soul. It is where the Lord speaks to us most clearly.
What a great gift God has given to us in His Word! His words will burn in your heart. They will become a flame that warms your spirit even in the toughest times. They will guide you, inform you, and inspire you. Yes, understanding comes gradually, but what you do understand changes you forever.
There is only one catch to all of this . . . you have to open the Bible and read it! Start with the gospels (always a good idea to get to know Jesus) and begin your love affair with the Bible. Come to it with a heart willing to follow and you will soon understand what the men on the road to Emmaus were talking about.
