经 节： 他们彼此说：“在路上，祂和我们说话，给我们讲解圣经的时候，我们的心岂不是火热的吗？”（路加福音廿四章32节）
耶稣亲近那些认真寻求祂的人。两个人同往以马忤斯，他们在路上彼此谈论耶路撒冷最近所发生那些令人迷惑的事。他们本来自以为了解当时世代所发生的事情，然而耶稣的死亡使他们迷惘，失去判断力，不清楚神在他们这世代的工作。他们原希望耶稣就是弥赛亚，但耶稣的死亡使他们困惑与失望。他们需要答案。神了解人心。祂知道祂的儿女真诚地寻求祂的旨意。耶稣亲近这两个人，并且与他们同行。祂打开他们心灵的眼睛，叫他们明白圣经上所指著自己的话，与他们那时代所发生的事。当耶稣说话的时候，他们内心火热！当他们聆听耶稣讲解圣经与所发生之事的关系时，他们心里明白自己听到的正是神的真理。他们的怀疑消失，满心兴奋地向朋友们分享这个真理！如果你的环境令你迷惑，耶稣可以借着圣经使你再次地定睛在祂的身上，诚如当初祂对待那两个人一样。由人的眼光看来，事情可能令人困惑与沮丧。这需要基督的同在，才能打开你心灵的眼睛，看到圣经中的真理。你的环境是否令你迷惑？你需要耶稣教你以祂的角度来看事物。一旦你听见耶稣说话，你会像那两个人，兴奋地添加神的事工，并且热切地带领其他人领受相同的经验。
The
Living Word
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 joins those who are earnestly
seeking Him. Two men walked along the road to Emmaus discussing the confusing
events that had just occurred in Jerusalem. They thought they had understood
the happenings of their day, but the death of Jesus had left them disoriented
to God and His activity in their world. They had hoped that Jesus was the
Messiah, but His death had left them perplexed and discouraged. They needed
answers.
God reads the heart and knows the honest
pursuit of His will by His children. Jesus drew near to these men, walked with
them, and opened their minds to what the Scriptures said about Him and about
the events of their day. As Jesus was speaking, their hearts burned within
them! As they listened to Jesus relate the Scriptures to what they were
experiencing, they knew in their hearts that they were hearing God’s truth.
Their doubts vanished, excitement overcame them, and they raced back to share
the truth with their friends!
If you become bewildered by circumstances
in your life, Jesus can reorient you to Himself through the Scriptures just as
He did for these two men. From your human perspective, the situation may be
confusing and discouraging. It takes the presence of Christ to open your eyes
to the truth of the Scriptures. Have your circumstances confused you? You need
Jesus to give you His perspective. Once you’ve heard from Him, you’ll be like
these two men, excited to join God in what He is doing around you and eager to
include others in the experience.
