Contemplative Bible Reading

Luke 24:25 (English Standard Version)

And he said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

What does it mean to be “slow of heart?” How can you make your heart go faster? How do you make yourself believe faster?

No, I don’t have answers. Sometimes it takes me a while to come around to an idea. Especially an idea like that fellow from Nazareth actually did rise from the dead and is walking along the road talking to me. Oh, that idea. Yeah, that might take me a while to, uh, er, come around to it or something.
