There is something familiar...like a friend...about an old road through the country. Its bends and twists, potholes and gravel, and landmarks of large trees, old cottages and ancient cars greet you as you move past...like old acquaintances. You are so comfortable traveling on the old road that you anticipate each landmark just before seeing it, just as you anticipate the next phrase of a familiar hymn before it is sung. Old roads take you through fields where crops rise, mature and wither in an obvious panorama of life's patterns...but they faithfully bring you home again. An old road is a trusted friend, who makes a comfortable companion. Jesus wants to be our favorite "old road". He promises to open up the sweetest views of life and He promises to bring us home.
Luke 24:32 They said to each other, "Didn't our hearts burn within us as he talked with us on the road and explained the Scriptures to us?"
