I wonder if that was the look of sudden awestruck recognition similar to the ones on the faces of Peter, James, and John as they observed the transfigured face of Jesus on the mountain. In that mountaintop moment, they perceived that behind this person Jesus who they'd been seeking to know and understand stood the divine word, the uttered mystery of God. I imagine that fire blazed up behind their eyes in response to the eternal glory that blazed up in front of them. The eternal within them resonating and calling back to the eternal in front of them.
