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

New heart

John 3:1:-21
"Are you the teacher of Israel and do not know these things?"  "Are we going to church and following religious events and do not know these things?"  The former is the statement Jesus made to Nicodemus, the latter is what He is saying to us today.  Ezekiel 36:26 and other passages in the Old Testament are a foreshadowing of the change that takes place at salvation.  As the teacher of Israel Nicodemus should have known but failed to understand the true meaning of Gods plan throughout the scriptures, even so he is earnestly seeking and later becomes a public follower of Christ.  Jesus brings this single message to all who encountered Him along the way...God sent His Son, not to condemn the world but that the world through Him might be saved and all who believe in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.  Nicodemus received a new heart,  not because he was a religious person but because he came to believe in the one who was lifted up as a ransom for many...the one he spoke to in the dark.  May we also believe in Him.

'I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you.".-Ezek 36:26
