Today I finished reading and listening to the Gospel of
Luke. The 24th and last chapter is easily my favorite. Every time I
read it I find a new blessing. Today I noticed two times the risen Christ
expounded on the scriptures.
The first was to the two discouraged people on their way to
Emmaus. He walked with them, dine with them, chastised them and then expounded
store their hearts burn within them. I try to imagine that “sermon” from Luke
24:27. “And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in
all the scriptures the things concerning himself. This brought a complete
U-turn on their part reference first 33. “And they rose up the same hour, and
returned to Jerusalem”.Then later in the gathering of the disciples he expounded them again how it was foretold he would suffer and be put to death and rise again. “And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,” Luke 24:44-45 KJV
I’m always blessed deeply by these beautiful words.
