Hearts on Fire

Exodus 9-11; Luke 24

“And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself…’Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?’”

Luke 24:27, 32

The same Holy Spirit, who inspired the Prophets and writers of Scripture, opens our eyes and understanding of the Word of God. Like the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, we need Jesus to give us revelation as to who he is and how the entire Bible points to him. When we are being taught by the Holy Spirit from God’s Word, we, too, will testify “our hearts (were) burning within us.” These two disciples were so impacted by Jesus’ revelation to them that they walked seven miles back to Jerusalem, in the dark, to find the eleven disciples and share what they had just experienced. We, too, will be moved to share with others what we have experienced of Jesus and learned from his Word. When our hearts are on fire with the living presence of Jesus, the Word of God flows easily from our mouths.

Will we invite the Holy Spirit to teach us and reveal more of Jesus to us so we, too, can live with hearts on fire?

“Lord Jesus, I want to daily be taught by your Holy Spirit. I treasure your revelation of your Word, for your glory.”
