A HEART ON FIRE

LIGHT FOR THE WAY

Monday 8th January 2018

TOPIC: A HEART OF FIRE

TEXT:  "Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and He opened the scriptures to us?" (Luke 24:32)

In the book of Acts 17, Apostle Paul went to Mars Hill to declare the truth of Christ's resurrection. Many listeners gathered there were not spiritual seekers. Luke who wrote the book of Acts records that they spent their days simply wanting to discuss the latest news ideas with little interest in acting on what they learned (v:21).
Too much information can be dangerous. All the ideas can blur together and become incoherent, leaving us unchanged by what we know.
Centuries ago, the  historian Plutarch warned of the danger on living on a purely informational level. He widely said " The mind is not a vessel to be stirred but a fire to be kindled."
The followers of Christ on the way to Emmaus would have agreed( Luke 24). As the grieved the death of Jesus, the risen Christ Himself joined them but hid His identity. He began instructing them on the ancient prophecies of those events found throughout the old testament. Later that day, Christ revealed Himself to them and then departed.
After Jesus' departure they marvelled at what they had heard. The things He taught were not sterile facts but fire that kindled their hearts with devotion for Him. May we likewise trust the Shepherd of our soul to kindle our hearts as we grow in His word.
