Luke 24:32 - Discouraged and Disappointed.

Luke 24:32 (NKJV) And they said to one 
another, "Did not our heart burn within us while He 
talked with us on the road, and while He opened the 
Scriptures to us?"  

Luke 24:32 (CWR) They looked at each other 
and said, No wonder our hearts burned within 
us when He talked to us along the way and 
explained the prophecies to us! Hes the Lord! 
Hes risen! Hes alive! 

COMMENTARY PEARL

   Have you ever been disappointed with God? 
Have you ever felt as though God let you down, 
that He failed you? 
   Thats how two first-century disciples 
felt as they were leaving Jerusalem. They were 
devastated because Jesus had been crucified. In their 
minds, that was the end of the story. 
   And then, none other than the resurrected 
Jesus joined them. However, they didnt know it 
was the Lord. He did something to conceal His 
identity, although we dont know what it was. 
   As the three walked along together, Jesus 
turned to them and said, in effect, Hey, guys, 
why the long faces? Whats going on? 
   One of them replied, You must be the 
only person in Jerusalem who hasnt heard about 
all the things that have happened there the last 
few days (Luke 24:18 NLT). 
   Jesus said, What things? (verse 19 
NLT). So they proceeded to tell Jesus about 
Jesus. 
   But then the Bible says that Jesus 
stopped and rebuked them, saying, You foolish 
people! You find it so hard to believe all that the 
prophets wrote in the Scriptures. Wasnt it clearly 
predicted that the Messiah would have to suffer all 
these things before entering his glory? (verses 
25-26 NLT). 
   Jesus went on to explain all the Old 
Testament passages that pointed to His death. I would 
love to have been a fly on the wall for that 
conversation. 
   As they came to the end of their journey, 
Jesus acted as though He would keep going, so they 
invited Him to join them for a meal. And when He 
took the bread, blessed it, and broke it, they 
suddenly recognized Him. Then He disappeared. 
   This story reminds us that God can use 
His Word to bring us back to spiritual life 
again. Disappointment is His appointment. God wants 
to restore your faith today. [Greg Laurie from
