"Did not our hearts burn "
Wednesday (April 3): Scripture: Luke 24:13-35
Why was it difficult for the disciples to recognise the risen Lord? Jesus' death scattered his disciples. It shattered their hopes and dreams.
They had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. They saw the cross as defeat. They could not comprehend the empty tomb until the Lord appeared to them. Jesus chided the disciples on the road to Emmaus for their slowness of heart to believe what the scriptures had said concerning the Messiah. They did not recognise the risen Jesus until he had broken bread with them. Do we recognise the Lord in his word and in the breaking of the bread?
Father, nourish me with your life-giving word and with the bread of life." through Christ our Lord.
Belated Easter Greetings and Blessings to all of you.!!
