Jesus began to explain everything that had been written about himself in the Scriptures. ~ Luke 24:27
When [the disciples] saw who he was, he disappeared. They said to each other. 'It felt like a fir burning in us when Jesus talked to us on the road and explained the Scriptures to us'" (Luke 24:31-32)
Don't you love that verse? They knew they had been with Jesus because of the fire within them. God reveals His will by setting a torch to your soul. He gave Jeremiah a fire for hard hearts. He gave nehemiah a fire for a forgotten city. He set Abraham on fire for a land he'd never seen. He set Isaiah on fire with a vision he couldn't resist. Forty years of fruitless preaching didn't extinguish the fire of Noah. . . .
Mark it down: Jesus comes to set you on fire! He walks as a torch from heart to heart, warming the cold and thawing the chilled and stirring the ashes. . . . He comes to purge infection and illuminate your direction.
Has God set your life on fire? What is the fire that will not be extinguished in your heart?
