DAILY?READINGS: 1 Samuel 3; Isaiah 46; 2 Corinthians 6:11 to 7:16
And their eyes were opened, and they knew Him; and He vanished out of their sight. Luke 24:31
Luke’s Gospel commences with two people (Joseph and Mary) travelling from Jerusalem thinking that the Lord was with them, and He was not. The Gospel concludes with two people travelling from Jerusalem, not knowing that the Lord was with them, and He was! It is easy to lose the joy of His presence when we are complacent about our faith. Conversely in times of sorrow we can think He is far from us. The answer to both situations is to spend time with our Bible and thus we can fellowship with our Lord and have Him reveal more of Himself to us. —Robert E. Surgenor
More about Jesus would I know, more of His grace to others show;
More of His saving fulness see, more of His love who died for me.—Eliza E. Hewitt
