"When he was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed and broke it and gave it to them. And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him." -Luke 24:30-31
I heard a great message on this passage about the disciples traveling to Emmaus with Jesus and the pastor (Steven Furtick Blessed and Broken) really put this verse into perspective. Just as Jesus takes the bread, blesses it, breaks it, and gives it, so he does also with us in our own lives. We find ourselves in one of these four stages everyday. Whether the Lord is displacing you and making you uncomfortable with where he's placed you, or he has you in a joyous season of life....whether he's breaking you to bring you closer to him or he's giving your life to reflect the glory of his kingdom, you never leave his hands. Jesus doesn't put the bread down!
Verse 31 is a fantastic reminder of the reward to come when we surrender to God's hands and allow him to carry us through such stages according to his will. Then, our eyes will be opened to see that which satisfies our hearts!
