“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?”” Luke 24:32 (NIV)
For us Resurrection Day is past for this year but we can remember His resurrection every Sunday and even every day. The Bible records some important events which happened on the day that Jesus arose from the dead, both in the morning and later in the day. In the Gospel of Luke we have recorded the account of two disciples who were traveling to the small town of Emmaus and they are met by Jesus. They were disturbed by what they had heard and Jesus encourages them by explaining what the Old Testament had taught them about Him, long before He came to earth. After Jesus suddenly leaves them, as they begin to share a meal, the two disciples marveled at what He had explained to them. Their reaction is recorded in our verse today. Jesus had opened the Scriptures to them and their understanding and it had warmed their hearts. There is so much in the Bible that is there to warm our hearts too. The Holy Spirit is here to open the heart-warming truths for us. Let's be sure we open our eyes as we open our Bibles often and open our hearts to God's wonderful truths and promises.
Where was Emmaus?

August 18 – That We May Know
“... from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.” 2 Timothy 3:15 (NIV)
It is a good practice to be thanking God for choosing people long ago to write the Bible messages which we need to know in order to become His children and His disciples. God inspired the writers and he also inspired those who have presented the writings and have passed them on to us. And the purpose of all this is to make us wise for salvation. The Holy Scriptures which the Apostle Paul writes about in his second letter to Timothy has been given first to reveal that God has prepared and presented and offered a way to Himself – He has revealed what we must know in order to be saved. That is why we who are children of God give thanks for the Holy Bible because it is how we learn about all that God has done for us. Our promise today is that we can trust the Bible to guide us and teach us first for salvation and then for discipleship as we share what we have been taught.
