Luke 24:30-32 KJV
And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
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?
How fleeting are our opportunities with the Lord Jesus Christ. Sure, He returned, and it is true He showed Himself alive for 40 days; but each opportunity came and passed and eventually the opportunities to see Him as He dwelt among men was passed, gone, over.
Today we will have an opportunity to speak about the Lord and perhaps today Christ will manifest Himself in some great way in our services. It could be that only a handful of those who are here will recognize Him. It might be that none do, but whatever happens today for the glory of God is over once it’s over. We will never be able to recover this day's worship again.
May we, come with our eyes open, and our hearts warm, listening for the sweet voice of our Saviour.
