The power of his presence

Scripture

Luke 24:28-32

They drew near the village where they were traveling, and He seemed to be going farther. But they urged Him, saying, “Stay with us. For it is nearly evening and the day is far spent.” So He went in to stay with them. As He sat at supper with them, He took the bread, blessed it and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized Him. And He vanished out of their sight. They said to each other, “Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked to us on the way and while He opened the Scriptures to us?” (MEV)

Observation

1. Jesus acted if he was going to leave them,  to be going farther.

The Bible teaches us to seek Jesus.  Jesus desires for us to pursue him.

2. They urged Jesus to stay with them.

They had a desire to be in his presence.

3. Jesus revealed himself to them.

When we pursue Jesus, he will be found by you.

4. Their hearts burned inside of them.

Application

1. Pursue, seek after Jesus, with all my heart.

Worship and prayer is the act of pursuing Jesus.

2. Jesus will allow me to catch him.

He wants to be caught by me.  

3. Revelation happens in his presence.

4. His presence will change and transform me.

Prayer

I desire you, seek and pursue you.  I need you, slow down so I can catch you.  Give me revelation, wisdom, and understanding. May I burn inside to know you.
