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?
They turned to each other and said, 'Didn't you feel that fire in your chest when he was walking with us and explaining everything in the scriptures? Like, our hearts were literally burning.'
Sometimes the truth hits so deep you can literally feel it in your chest.
