βAnd beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.β (Luke 24:27)
The risen Lord Jesus had joined with two of his disciples as they journeyed from Jerusalem to Emmaus, but they were held back from recognising him. Jesus had asked them why they were sad, and they had described to him his death on the cross and the report they had received of his resurrection. These were events clearly found in prophecy in the Old Testament, but which these disciples hadnβt understood, and so our Lord and Saviour opened up to them the Old Testament scriptures which foretold of the promised Messiah and what would happen to him. Please pray for preachers of the gospel today as they seek to follow the example of our Lord Jesus in faithfully expounding the scriptures.
