Moving At the Speed of Love





LUKE 24:13-35: THE EMMAUS ROAD

Kosuke Koyama wrote an article called Three Mile an Hour God:





God walks 'slowly' because he is love. If he is not love he would have gone much faster.



Love has its speed. It is an inner speed. It is a spiritual speed. It is a different kind of speed from the technological speed to which we are accustomed.



It is ‘slow' yet it is lord over all other speeds since it is the speed of love. It goes on in the depth of our life, whether we notice or not, whether we are currently hit by storm or not, at three miles an hour.



It is the speed we walk and therefore it is the speed the love of God walks.



It's Easter. I've got 3,287 things flashing through my brain. Lord, help me to let You set the pace. Let me walk with the people who come tomorrow at the speed of love.
