Burning Hearts

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?

It’sbeen said that Lenten season is the Christians' 'Spring Training'. I liked that when I read it years ago and decided to use this time of year to draw closer to the Lord through prayer, fasting, and a closer look at Christs' life and ministry in scripture. "That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His suffering, being conformed to His death." Philippians 3:10

There was a man...

John 3:1:-21
This is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful conversations recorded between Jesus and someone seeking truth regarding his own standing before God.   Nicodemus was a ruler of the Jews, intellectually asute in the scriptures yet lacking in the full understanding of what they meant.  He had seen "signs" that God was with Jesus...now his heart compelled him to come to Christ under the cloak of darkness seeking to unravel the swirling confusion in his mind.  Nicodemus addresses Jesus as Rabbi, which meant Great Teacher, so he showed respectful humility and an honest desire to learn from the Lord.  However, I am still not able to figure out how Jesus came up with the reply that he did based on the initial greeting from Nicodemus.  I'm pondering that today and am following this discourse for a few days.
