Luke 24:27 ESV
And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. The Scriptures point us to Christ.
Luke 24:28-31 ESV
So they drew near to the village to which they were going. He acted as if he were going farther, but they urged him strongly, saying, "Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent." So he went in to stay with them. When he was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed and broke it and gave it to them. And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he vanished from their sight.
And then there is walking with Jesus. He teaches us His Way. Sometimes we see Him clearly, but I feel like those moments are brief and infrequent. And just when I think I see Him, He seems to disappear.
Luke 24:32-35 ESV
They said to each other, "Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?" And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together, saying, "The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!" Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.
But we continue to seek Him. We grow in maturity as we persevere in seeking. And though it seems that He is hiding, we can find Him as we meet with our Brothers and Sisters, and as we celebrate communion together. He promises that where two or three are gathered in His name, He is with us.
Heavenly Father, thank you for the presence of your Son, Jesus Christ, and thank you for the anointing of your Holy Spirit. Lord, would you give me perseverance to continue pursuing Christ. Lord Jesus, please let me find you as I seek you; may I seek you with all my heart. And may my seeking be an encouragement to others who don't presently see you. I love you, and I pray in the name of Jesus Christ.
