The Lord is always at work in His people, steadily perfecting their trust in Himself. Sometimes that work is quiet. Sometimes it is uncomfortable. But it is always purposeful. That truth is on full display as the risen Christ walks with two of His disciples on the road to Emmaus.
These followers of Jesus are troubled, confused, and disappointed. Their hopes seem crushed, even though the resurrection has already taken place. Yet in their sorrow, the Lord draws near. Through patient conversation and the opening of the Scriptures, Christ replaces the turmoil in their hearts with a burning, joyful trust—the kind of trust that rests fully in the sufficiency of who He is.
Today we continue part two of our sermon, Jesus Drew Near, as we look closely at this remarkable journey. Together, we will see the critical elements of true discipleship and what it means to have hearts that burn—hearts blessed by a deep, settled confidence that Jesus is enough.
