“Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?”
Luke 24:32
Have you ever felt a deep sense of peace and joy wash over you? That’s the feeling you get when you open the Bible and truly see Jesus in its pages. Just like the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, whose hearts burned within them as Jesus explained the Scriptures to them (Luke 24:27), you too can experience this flame of love and understanding.
Jesus Himself Is Our Guide
Remember how Jesus, after hearing the disciples’ wrong beliefs and discouraged conversation, didn’t just tell them what to do? Instead, He took them on a journey through the Scriptures, starting from the very beginning with the Torah (the first five books of Moses) and continuing through the books of the prophets. He showed them how the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, is all about Him! (Luke 24:27).
Seeing Jesus Transforms Us
In this way, Jesus sets the example for how we should approach the Bible. It’s not about finding a list of rules or checking things off a to-do list. It’s about encountering Jesus Himself! The more we see Him in the Scriptures, the more we are set free from self-centeredness and transformed into His likeness, growing in glory step by step (2 Corinthians 3:18).
