FIERY HEARTS FROM THE RESURRECTION ROAD

The Bible functions a bit like a complex mystery novel. In those books, the first part of the book is full of clues—some obvious, some not. Then, toward the end, the mystery is solved. The clues come together in a way that you (or at least I) would never manage to predict; but once they do come together, it’s all obvious! You suddenly realize the point of the seemingly random events that came before. So you can’t fully understand the end without the beginning—but you can’t confidently understand the beginning without the end.


No wonder the disciples’ hearts were burning as Jesus opened the Scriptures for them. The resurrection makes sense of the whole story of Jesus—really, the story of the whole Bible. The resurrection means all the promises of the Old Testament have been kept and it makes the terrible events of the crucifixion to be good news which sets heavy hearts ablaze—FIERY HEARTS FROM THE RESURRECTION ROAD.
