Has Your Heart Ever Burned?
Has Your Heart Ever Burned?
Luke 24:27-32
Luke 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
Luke 24:28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.
Luke 24:29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.
Luke 24:30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
Luke 24:31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
Luke 24:32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
Luke 24:33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
One in 10 Americans experiences heartburn symptoms at least once a week. Heartburn has different triggers, including certain foods, medications, obesity, or even stress. Knowing your triggers will help you design a prevention strategy. If you suffer from heartburn it’s important to find effective heartburn remedies to prevent the acid reflux from worsening. Heartburn treatment may include medications, home remedies, or diet changes. However, I need to immediately clarify that I’m not referring to heartburn as a result of foods and medication. Interestingly, as I write this blog, San Bruno, Ca is on fire; several resident are heart-broken as they watch their neighborhood burn. Some have gone through the catastrophic calamity of having their heart burned by a significant other. The uncomfortable agony of heartburn makes a person vow never to touch or allow food that would trigger the acid reflux response.
In the text Luke the physician, shows what’s its like to have heart burn after an explanation of the word. These two men on the Emmaus road were formerly despondent and disillusioned over the tragic events that transpired; you know the death & burial of Jesus. However, they were unsure of the resurrection at this point; but much to their surprise the resurrected one will be walking side by side with them. Jesus was an expositor, because beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. You see, he expounded, exposed, and explained the word concerning himself. There was literally a systematic explanation of the word of God. It is my belief that Gods people need the word to be exposed. Have you ever left worship or preaching services saying, “wow my heart is burning over that word!” Someone has wisely said, “Preach from the burning, and not the learning.” The brothers in Luke were so enamored by how Jesus explained the word that they went back to Jerusalem and joined the other disciples. The heartburn they had was from a fresh word from Jesus…
