As we
approach our Easter Services, we are walking through a worship series that lays
out the power of the gospel message. Andy Stanley wrote a book called
“Principle of Path”. The main premise of this book is that wherever the road
you are on leads, that is where it will take you. Just as you cannot expect to end up in
California by taking I-26 east, you cannot expect God’s blessings while walking
a road that does not lead to Him.
In Luke
24 we find two disciples walking down the road to Emmaus which was seven miles
from Jerusalem where Jesus had been crucified and buried. News of Jesus’
resurrection had traveled among those who believed in Him. As they were walking
down the road, they were talking about all the events they had seen and heard
relating to Jesus. Suddenly, a man they did not recognize started walking
behind them. After spending some time with them, Jesus revealed Himself as the
Risen Savior. Notice what the scripture
says:
(Luke
24:31-32 NLT) 31 Suddenly, their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And
at that moment he disappeared! 32 They said to each other, “Didn’t our hearts
burn within us as he talked with us on the road and explained the Scriptures to
us?”
I pray
that you find the encouragement and will to seek Jesus on whatever road you are
walking today. Ask Him to reveal Himself to you to show you the direction you
are going and the strength to make corrections where needed. I am praying for
you and your journey!
In Him,
Pastor
James
