“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 24:32 KJV
As Jesus broke bread with them their eyes opened and they knew exactly who He was! Then He vanished from their view! They erupted in an avalanche of words - “was our hearts not set ablaze - even while He was speaking the Scriptures to us!” Jesus could have easily just tapped them on the shoulder at the beginning of their journey and told them who He was! But He reveals Himself in their familiar language, the Scriptures, knowing that the entire context of the Incarnation is grounded in these profound, prophetic writings. This surely beats any angelic visitation. As Paul later recorded that it pleased the Father to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery….which is Christ IN you, the hope of glory! This is the image of God in us being unveiled! Glory to God!
