Tuesday, March 30, 2021 Discouraged and Disappointed "They said to each other, 'Didn't our hearts burn within us as he talked with us on the road and explained the Scriptures to us?'" (Luke 24:32 NLT). Have you ever been disappointed with God? Have you ever felt as though God let you down, that He failed you? That's how two first-century disciples felt as they were leaving Jerusalem. They were devastated because Jesus had been crucified. In their minds, that was the end of the story. And then, none other than the resurrected Jesus joined them. However, they didn't know it was the Lord. He did something to conceal His identity, although we don't know what it was. As the three walked along together, Jesus turned to them and said, in effect, "Hey, guys, why the long faces? What's going on?" One of them replied, "You must be the only person in Jerusalem who hasn't heard about all the things that have happened there the last few days" (Luke 24:18 NLT). Jesus said, "What things?" (verse 19 NLT). So they proceeded to tell Jesus about Jesus. |
