Information… How much information to you have? How much is available that you don’t have? How much of what you have is accurate?
“What things?”, the Traveler asked.
The two traveling on the road to Emmaus had some information about Jesus. He was from Nazareth. He was an inspired speaker, a foreteller of future events. He was powerful in the things He said and did, dynamic. The religious elite had orchestrated His death, a crucifixion. And His body was not in the tomb, it had vanished.
I wonder, what do you know about Jesus? What information do you have? Have you even scratched the surface of knowing? ….I haven’t. The more I learn, the more I realize how much I do not know and understand. I can hardly wrap my brain around it…God in flesh.(John 1:14)
Jesus said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!…
Then, beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning Himself.” (Luke 24:25,27)
Moses…that would be the first 5 books of our Bible. THAT is where Jesus started when He decided to explain Himself to these travelers.
You see, scripture is ALL about Jesus. From beginning to end, it’s about Jesus. From the garden, He has been spoken of and promised. The curse that fell on mankind is only in Him removed. The prophets message was all about Him. The chosen people of God, was all about Him and His Message to the world.
Will you go to Moses and all the Prophets of scripture, open the Bible, and ask Him to show you what is said there concerning Himself?
Just like the road to Emmaus, He comes to help us and give us knowledge and understanding when we use what we have already been given. Just as then, there is much more to know about Jesus than the circumstances of His birth and death. So very much more….
