Luke 24

I was emotionally touched this morning as the Savior joined two disciples on the road to Emmaus where one of the disciples commented -

"...we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done."  (New Testament | Luke 24:21)

I can just imagine the thoughts of the Savior somewhat down the line of "as much as I taught you, don't you understand?".  But in loving patience the Savior again taught -

"...O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself."  (New Testament | Luke 24:25 - 27)

I would have loved to hear the words the Savior taught to these two faithful disciples.  After they constrained him to stay and eat with them -

"...it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?"  (New Testament | Luke 24:30 - 32)

I believe there is yet many mysteries that are yet to be understood as we read and ponder the scriptures such that eyes may be opened, our hearts will burn within us, and we will be enlightened and receive greater understanding.
