Chuck Smith emphasizes the need for passion in the Church, using the story of two disciples on the road to Emmaus who, despite their love and belief in Jesus, had lost their hope and passion after His crucifixion. He illustrates how Jesus engaged with them, reigniting their hearts by interpreting the Scriptures and revealing Himself through familiar teachings. The disciples' hearts burned as they listened to Jesus, highlighting the importance of listening to Him to rekindle our faith. Smith draws parallels between the disciples' experience and the current state of the Church, urging believers to seek a deeper connection with Christ.
