Ever get heartburn? Sometimes it is because of something you ate…..or maybe drank, or both. Spicy or acidic foods are common causes. Too much alcohol can be a culprit. Even eating too fast can trigger heartburn. It can linger for hours. Also, stress and anxiety play a role in heartburn. I suspect that some of us have worried ourselves sick over things. I have been guilty of that. And going the wrong way, doing the wrong thing can cause it too.

Jesus had been crucified and buried. But before that, he told his disciples to stay in Jerusalem until the gift of the Holy Spirit came to them. But it had been Passover and the city was full of people that had completed Passover and were leaving. There were two men leaving Jerusalem walking to Emmaus. Jesus started walking with them but they did not recognize Him. They walked and talked and finally had a meal. Then they recognized Him……they had heartburn as recorded in the scripture. Jesus turned their heartburn into heart change.
