Luke 24:16, 29
16 Something kept their eyes from seeing Who He was.
29 But they said to Him, “Stay with us. It will soon be evening. The day is about over.” He went in to stay with them. 30 As He sat at the table with them, He took the bread and gave thanks and broke it. Then He gave it to them. 31 And their eyes were opened and they knew Him. Then He left them and could not be seen.
Isaiah 55:6New Life Version (NLV)
6 Look for the Lord while He may be found. Call upon Him while He is near.
Hebrews 11:1New Life Version (NLV)
Faith
11 Now faith is being sure we will get what we hope for. It is being sure of what we cannot see.
“Just because they knew about Jesus does not mean they knew Him. Just because they could see Him does not mean they could see who He was. Many people today know who Jesus is. They have heard about Him, read about Him, use His name, and many even claim to know Him. They would not recognized Him if they saw Him. Their eyes have not been opened. Knowing about Him and knowing Him are two different things.” (http://www.lifeway.com/Article/sermon-jesus-opens-our-eyes-luke-24)
Social media is a hot topic in our world today. In fact, we can create what we see in social media. Has there ever been someone who you have “blocked” or “unfollowed” due to their feed or status’? I’ll be the first to admit that I have done it a few times. Why? Because my eyes were just tired of seeing the negative. I am not saying that doing this is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’, but we do the same with our walk with HIM.
The sermon at church this week was taken from Luke 24:13-35. The men walking were being accompanied by Jesus, Himself. They did not see that it was Him. Their eyes were so shielded from the crucifixion. Their minds were still set on the death of Christ. They believed in Him, but yet they couldn’t see what was walking right beside them. They had “blocked” Him from their vision.
So how does this apply to our lives and our walk. If our vision and/or thoughts are being blocked by the events in our lives, look to Him and see the true light. He sees what we can’t see. He has planned what is unexpected. Don’t block Him from your news feed. ‘Love’ His status’ ALWAYS!
