Didn't our hearts burn?

And they said to one another, “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

Jesus eventually told his fellow-travellers who He was. When He did they finally got it. ‘Did our hearts not burn within us when He opened the scriptures?’

What caused things to change from a mystifying conversation with a stranger to having their hearts burn?

There is only one thing that can do that. It is the living Word of God. Man’s skills and reasoning are going to accomplish nothing. God’s word can change everything. Is can set a heart of fire. It can divide soul and spirit. It is sharp and powerful.

That’s why it is important that we always use the word of God when we talk to people. Sometimes it may seem silly to share God’s word with someone who rejects it. But the scriptures are different than any other book because it lives and stirs hearts.

So let’s speak it clearly. Let’s speak it boldly. Let’s speak it frequently. That and that alone will cause men’s hearts to burn.
