A Daily Devotional
About
walking with open eyes:
Luke 24:31 Then their eyes were opened
and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. 32 They asked each
other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on
the road and opened the Scriptures to us?"
Human reason is stretched a bit here but why would Jesus just disappear or blink out of sight? In the same way, we may often wonder why Jesus does not do what we want Him to do. In this case, look at what happened just after Jesus disappeared from their sight. They turned to each other and their focus was upon the burning in their hearts. Had Jesus stayed visible, the focus of attention would likely have been upon Jesus instead of His truth. God has made our faith structure so we must walk by faith, not by sight. By staying around and staying visible, Christ would have set up conditions where people would be walking by sight rather than walking by faith. To help us walk by faith, Christ comes and gives us our spiritual sight. The wisdom of God is supreme above all other wisdom. The wisdom of God is the wisdom forever prevailing in Heaven. God's heavenly wisdom calls us to walk with our spiritual eyes open rather than closed. Christ died so the physically and spiritually blind may see Him, know Him, and love Him. Christ died so we could see, think about, and consider the blessings of heaven.
