Reflection on Luke 24

Reflection on Luke 24

Jesus is the BETTER Explainer-of-Scripture

Luke 24:25-29

25 He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?”27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

28 As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther. 29 But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.

Jesus is the BETTER Revealer of the word.

Jesus is reveals how all the scriptures are about HIM: God as King, Lord and Saviour.

Luke 24:30-35

30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. 32 They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”

33 They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together 34 and saying, “It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon.” 

35 Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.

May we attentively and intentionally focus our vision and sight on the fact that all scripture is about Jesus. 

May our eyes, ears and hearts be focused on Jesus as the full embodiment of God's salvation and redemption of the whole universe.

May our eyes and minds be opened to see Jesus through daily reading of scripture. 

May our hearts and spirits be awakened to burn and be satisfied with seeing Jesus as the resurrected living Lord and Saviour who we must eternally love, worship and obey as King and Messiah.
