We all want to hear from God. We all want to know the purpose of our lives, and where our stories are going. Especially in those moments when our stories seem to be falling apart. In those moments, it feels like God is entirely silent. After His death, the disciples were convinced their interactive life with God was over. They had heard the voice of God out of the mouth of Jesus, but now He was dead and buried. But on the road to Emmaus, Jesus encountered two disciples, and through His interaction revealed a new way in which they could experience the guidance and voice of God in their lives even though He would soon not be physically present with them. Through explaining how to find Him in the Scriptures, and through the experience of their “hearts burning within us”, a new way to have interactive life with God became clear - life in the Spirit.
