When you hear the Word does it burn within you? Luke 23-24

Jesus is on a walk with the two men who were traveling to a city called Emmaus in chapter 24. As He walks they "reveal" to Him the happenings of the last few days ... namely His own death and Resurrection. Jesus begins to unfold to them the entire plan of salvation as read in the "the beginning with Moses and with all the prophets" (24:27). (This is, by the way, a great passage to show the theme of the entire Bible and how it all talks about Christ even though it is divided up into man made sections). As He talks with them they can't seem to grasp who He is and that He indeed is the one they saw crucified. In 24:32 we read the words that as He talked His Words (the Scriptures) burned within them. This is what it is like to "be in the Word." When you read God's Word does it burn within you? Do you sense the Spirit of God working and chiseling away your heart and moving in your midst. There are some who only see God's Word as a cold set of standards and doctrines to be thought of with the mind. Here we have Christ's preaching of the Word (in a little walking Bible study) and seeing an emotional response to the Word. If the Word has become a cold and calculated script for you than something is missing. God's word is meant to engage us into an emotional response. We are not meant to be guided by our emotions but we are not to deny them either; we are to recognize them (and recognize when they are not there) and to subdue them. Do you allow God's Word to invoke an emotional response in your life? Does it invoke a response? Read the Psalms of David - the Scripture invoked an emotional response. God's Word is not a text book - it is life giving book. It touches all the parts of our life.
