Luke 24:26-27
Excerpted from: Do You See God?Brethren, they did not believe! Even though they had been taught, they did not believe the things that appeared in the Old Testament describing the Messiah and His resurrection. And so they did not see the Christ who was with them because they did not expect to see Him! Christ calls them fools. He not only calls them fools, which shows me that He expected them to be able to identify Him, He calls them slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!
I think their hope was really nothing more than a wish. But I think it is significant that it does not say in their response as they talked to Him that they trusted Him. You see, they were not using their faith. They were not using their belief. There is a big difference between hoping and trusting. Trusting requires making choices and having patient endurance.
At the end of all of this, when they finally saw Jesus, when they perceived who it was that was with them, then everything that they experienced - including the crucifixion and resurrection - made sense. Do you get the point there? If you can see God working in your life, then everything will begin to come together. It may not come all at once like with these people with whom it was a flash of recognition. Everything came together, and they vividly saw the experiences that they had just gone through in their proper perspective.
But, if you can see God involved in the circumstances of your life, as you walk this walk with Jesus Christ, then it is going to give shape and form to your life in a way that you never would have had otherwise! Things are going to make the proper kind of sense. Things will be put in to their proper perspective.
Luke 24:25-27
Excerpted from: Jesus in the Feasts (Part One): Unleavened BreadAnd of course, all the Scriptures at that time was the Old Testament. He is basically saying, the Old Testament is chockful of information about Me and I have to open your mind and show you all these things that Moses and all the prophets wrote about Him.
Now these verses that we have read, Luke 24:25-27 and John 5:46, can be read to imply far more than what they say on the surface. What they really imply is that the whole Old Testament is about Him. Moses and all the prophets, all those writers, they just wrote all kinds of stuff concerning the Christ, the Messiah. They did not necessarily call Him that in every scripture, but really, when you look at it, that is exactly what occurred. He is not only in specific prophecies, but He is the central figure in the whole Book. And not just the Old Testament, but the New as well.
Luke 24:26-32
Excerpted from: 'Being Seen of Them Forty Days'Right here He goes to the root of the problem that would continue for 40 days—the slow heart of unbelief.
He was right there with them, but they could not recognize Him because, as Christ said, they were foolish without Moses and the prophets being in their hearts. It was only when He sat there explaining Himself in the Scriptures did they say they were driven to understanding what was happening. But brethren, how long did that last?
