Does Jesus have more to show us than we’re seeing now?
After the crucifixion two disciples were walking along the road to Emmaus, talking about all that had happened.
Jesus Himself came up and walked with them; but they were kept from recognising Him. Luke 24:16
They told Jesus what they were talking about and He began ‘to explain to them what was said in the Scriptures concerning Himself’. They persuaded Him to come in and stay with them, as the day was almost over.
When He was at the table with them, He took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. THEN THEIR EYES WERE OPENED and they recognised him and he disappeared from their sight. Luke 24:30, 31
The Lord celebrated Communion for them and as He ‘broke the bread and gave thanks’, their eyes were opened!
Were not OUR HEARTS BURNING within us while he talked with us on the road and OPENED the Scriptures to us? They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven(Judas was gone) and those with them, assembled together and saying, “It is true! The Lord has risen…”. Luke 24:32, 33
While they were still talking about this, Jesus Himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you”. Luke 24:36
Jesus told His disciples to ‘look at and touch His hands and feet. It is I Myself’! He had to persuade them it really was Him.
Everything must be fulfilled that is written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms(that’s a very complete list and Jesus said He’s there in all of them). Then He OPENED THEIR MINDS so they could understand the Scriptures. Luke 24:44, 45
It’s worth noting that both times the disciples had their experiences BEFORE Jesus showed them what was in the Scriptures. It’s also worth noting that He did take time to show them that what He was saying was in the Scripture, even though they were looking at the Living Word.
We never come to the end of God(He’s infinite), there’s always more to discover. I believe that the Lord wants to reveal some things to us today, perhaps enlighten our understanding of who He really is FOR US PERSONALLY. He’s always willing and available to speak to us; He made the ultimate sacrifice for us to know Him.
Please ask Him what He wants to say to you today.
God bless and keep you, now and always.
