Hearts Burning Again Intro
A New Mini-Anthology on Luke 24:13-52
There is a moment in the Gospel of Luke when faith does not fail, but it does grow tired. If this is where you are in your faith journey, lock in to this article series! The story tells us of two disciples who walk away from Jerusalem, away from hope, carrying their faith with heaviness and disappointment. Imagine the despair on their face. Better yet, feel these words:
“We had hoped”
That statement could be the quiet confession of many Christians today.
This mini-anthology is an invitation to confront the disappointment and lack of joy in your walk with God, the creator of heaven and earth. The articles will help you relearn how to love the historic faith we already confess. To enjoy it. To feel it burn again for the Lord.
Chapter 24 of Luke’s first account tells us that Jesus sees these disciples. He joins them. He listens. He teaches them slowly, and the outcome is that their hearts catch fire. Do you want that fire again? As our guiding voice, we will listen to Dr. Howard Thurman, who once wrote:
“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
For the disciples in Luke 24, Jesus opened their minds and poured the scriptures into them, causing their hearts to burn again for the risen King. May these next few articles be a blessing to you!
