Three days following His death upon the cross, the

gospel accounts report Jesus’ resurrection and several subsequent

encounters with His followers. One such encounter occurs with two

of Jesus’ disciples while they are travelling and lamenting the

death of Christ. Even as Jesus walks and talks with them, the

coolness of their hearts toward God is apparent as they will not

believe in Jesus’ resurrection. However, after Jesus reveals

Himself through the Scriptures, their hearts are set ablaze by His

truth and for His glory.
