Re:Verse passage – Luke 24:13-35 (day three)
“And they stood still, looking sad.”
Wherever there were broken hearts resulting from his absence, the pain of those hearts reached the sensitive soul of the risen Savior like an SOS beacon, and he drew close. As the two men on the Emmaus Road paused their stride to update this stranger on the substance of their conversation about the chaotic reports of Jesus sitings, Jesus could see their downcast faces, feel their deep sense of loss. He responded tenderly: “And you feel like you’d be fools to believe these reports, even though you yearn for them to be true. You’re trying to slow your heart from running to embrace what the scriptures have said, afraid that it might not be real.” Jesus’s compassion tracks your sorrow, slowly opening up your life to possibilities you had not previously let yourself believe.
