“It
came to pass, as He sat at the table with them, that He took bread,
blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened
and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight.” LUKE 24:30,31
After
Jesus
blessed the bread, and broke it, and gave it to them, their eyes were
opened and they knew Him. Until you have the blessing and the breaking
your eyes will remain closed. Blessings alone do not open our eyes.
Indeed, blessings by themselves tend to close our eyes. We do not come
to know Him in the blessing, but in the breaking. Then what we already
have in Him will be revealed. Our eyes will be opened and we will see
that He has been standing there the whole time.
Do
you want to know Him? Do you want to see Him for Who He is? Do you want
to go deeper? Do you want to have your eyes opened? Embrace the
blessing AND the breaking; receive them both. If you are a bruised reed
or a broken cistern, take heart, because you are making progress.
