Luke 24: 27, 32, 45
On the Road to Emmaus, Cleopas and his companion [Mary, his wife, who was with His mother at the foot of the Cross? (John 19:25)] don't recognize Jesus as, And beginning with Moses and with all the Prophets, He explained to them all the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.
And they said to one another, "Were not our hearts burning within us while He was speaking to us on the Road while He was explaining the Scriptures to us?"
Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.
God has given us His Holy Spirit to teach us and give us understanding of what He is saying to us in the Scriptures. It's His Spirit in us showing us a right understanding of this cryptic Book.
To the World it seems to be written in code, that is hard to understand. But to us who have His Spirit, it all makes perfect sense. The whole Old Testament is about Jesus, the Lord God of the Patriarchs. The whole New Testament is also about Jesus, fulfilling everything that was written about Him in the Old Testament.
All the dots do connect, and the more dots we can connect, the broader and clearer the picture is of God's Great Plan of the Ages.
O my Father, I pray that You would continue to open my mind to an ever greater understanding how all Your Word fits together, to connect all the dots, to see and comprehend that Big Picture of all You are doing!
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
