Burning Hearts

     The story of these disciples on the road to Emmaus is extremely important for a couple of reasons. First, it provides further evidence of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ who was seen by many eyewitnesses on different occasions. Second, it reaffirms the significance of the OT Scripture because it predicted the coming Christ & His ministry which now have been fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Thirdly, this story provides a model of the spiritual journey that all believers are on today beyond the death, burial, & resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. We will see this clearly as we move through the text.
