The title of this post(and lyrics of my favorite hiphop song and artist) is evident from the promise from God, the 300+ prophecies fulfilled in Christ but also in the words Of Jesus Himself in Doctor and disciple of Jesus, Luke' Gospel account in chapter 24. We come in to this historical account suseded shortly after the Cruxifiction and Resurecttion of Jesus Himself. We find here the inspired Word of God explaining the brisk walk of two downtrodden believers of Jesus on the road when a Man joins them and strikes up an amazing conversation that should define how we view, study and teach all of the Holy Scriptures. As we enter this account take great notice of the verse 27!
13 That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem,14 and they were talking with each other about all these things that had happened.
15 While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them.
16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.17 And he said to them, "What is this conversation that you are holding with each other as you walk?" And they stood still, looking sad.
18 Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, "Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?" 19 And he said to them, "What things?" And they said to him, "Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, 20 and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him. 21 But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.
22 Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning,
23 and when they did not find his body, they came back saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. 24 Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but him they did not see."25 And he said to them, "O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?"27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. - Luke 24:13-27 English Standard Version.
My pastor is doing a series of sermons on this very Biblical Truth I highly recommend it here is the link to the first one.
Soli Deo Gloria my dear readers,
Zachary Anderson.
"But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. He looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like.But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.."-James 22-25
