"WARM WELLS",   "HEART BURN",.........AND   "THE FULLNESS OF GOD"!!!!!!!!!
 (Luke 24:13-53/Ephesians 3:19)
                                                                                  

After Jesus Christ was crucified for my sins, and your sins, and for the sins of all the world (Luke 23:33)----- two of His disciples were walking on the "way" from Jerusalem to Emmaus  -  and they encountered the resurrected Jesus Christ - "the Way" (John 14:6).   "But their eyes were restrained, so that they did not know Him." (Luke 24:13-16)

These two  disciples were very disappointed, sad, and frustrated - because the One that they had "thought" was the  "Messiah" ----- had just died!  Their hopes had been crushed by His death.

[They were sad because their hopes had been crushed.  Perhaps their hopes were crushed- - - - -because they had placed their hopes on their own  expectations,  rather than on the person of Jesus Christ, and on what the Scriptures say about Him-the Messiah!!! (Isaiah chapters 52 & 53).  More about that later].


First, Jesus asked the two disciples some questions, then He listened to them, and then  -  "...beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself". (Luke 24:27)

"When they neared the village of Emmaus ("Warm Wells"),  "...He (Jesus) acted as if He would go further. But they constrained Him, saying  'abide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent'.  And He went in to stay with them.

"Now it came to pass, as He sat at the table with them, that He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them.

"Then their eyes were opened and they knew (recognized) Him;  and He vanished from sight.

"And they said to one another, 'Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?' " (Luke 24:17-32)


See here how Jesus asked them questions, listened to them, and then opened/explained the Scriptures concerning Himself to them;  then He was revealed to them when He blessed and broke the bread, and gave it to them.

When "...He vanished from sight..."- - - that caused them to talk about Him more, meditate on His words more, pursue Him, and seek His Presence more, share with others about Jesus, and worship Him more!!! (Luke 24:32-53)


O K,  it is confession time for me (Barry):

Holy God in His perfect love has been very graciously and patiently working on me for a long time - teaching me to put my hope (not on my expectations), but on His Person-His character-His Word!!!


In John 16:13 Jesus (Himself) tells you and me:  "...He (the Holy Spirit) will guide you into all truth".

So, as you and I continue to submit ourselves to God, and read, study, and declare the Scriptures, and ask the Holy Spirit - - - He will open/explain the Scriptures to each of us, filling our lives with more and more of His Presence!!!
As  IT IS WRITTEN IN HIS WORD:  

"...That you may experience for yourselves the love of Christ...that you may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled with God Himself!"
(Ephesians 3:19/Amplified Bible)   

"Lord...let it be to me according to your word." (Luke 1:38)

Amen.
